Growing up in Rhode Island, my friends would have strung me up if I had been a Yankees fan.

I'm always in the elements, it seems like it's pouring rain on me a lot and there's crowds of people pushing me around, and it feels very real. Which is great as a actor, you don't have to come up with too much of it. I'm always amazed.

I am a classical fan. I like Debussy a lot, so I was trying to learn it on the piano. I've learned like a third of it, but I think I'm getting to a section that may be beyond my skill level.

I didn’t know that it was going to launch a quote-unquote comedic career. I just wanted to do anything other than wait tables.

Both of my parents are actually music teachers. I think I got to a certain age where I decided I'd rather be a baseball player than a musician. Now, like most kids, I regret it.
Charlie Day

I had my own insecurities, which a lot of my comedy would come from, about not being able to live up to their academic expectations. Acting out those insecurities was a way of confronting them, like, “Let me just lean into being a guy who can’t read or write.”

You're responsible for your own character to a degree, because when it comes to the final draft of the script, you might say, Well, I think maybe I could add this here, add that there. But I find that I write just as well for the other characters as I do for myself. I think.

I waited tables in New York, and when you're in that line of work, you often have a horrible boss.

Technically, I'm a New Yorker.

Still when I go on talk shows, I worry that I have to live up to a comedic persona.
