More quotes by Charlie Day
The idea of doing stand-up is terrifying to me.
Charlie Day
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
My parents are more likely to know who Franz Liszt is than Snooki.
Charlie Day
I always have my best thoughts on the toilet.
Charlie Day
I eat stickers all the time dude!
Charlie Day
It is not elegant to gnaw Indian corn. The kernels should be scored with a knife, scraped off into the plate, and then eaten with a fork. Ladies should be particularly careful how they manage so ticklish a dainty, lest the exhibition rub off a little desirable romance.
Charlie Day
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.
Charlie Day
Hot soup at table is very vulgar it either leads to an unseemly mode of taking it, or keeps people waiting too long whilst it cools. Soup should be brought to table only moderately warm.
Charlie Day
I don't think you should just do what makes you happy. Do what makes you great. Do what's uncomfortable and scary and hard but pays off in the long run... Let yourself fail... And pick yourself up and fail again. Without that struggle, what is your success anyway?
Charlie Day
Still when I go on talk shows, I worry that I have to live up to a comedic persona.
Charlie Day
I think people are surprised when I string two sentences together. But I had a fiercely academic upbringing.
Charlie Day
Technically, I'm a New Yorker.
Charlie Day
Actors put ourselves in awkward positions all the time.
Charlie Day
You live your comedic life close to the edge, you're gonna cross the line and offend people.
Charlie Day
I think we're all guilty of mistaking the actors we've seen over and over again - we think we know them.
Charlie Day
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.
Charlie Day
I don't think you should just do what makes you happy. Do what makes you great.
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.”
Charlie Day
I've never written anything that wasn't somewhat of a collaboration. I don't know how people do it on their own.
Charlie Day
I love Queen. Not all of it. Some of it, I can't get into. But Don't Stop Me Now is a pretty hilarious song. It's a good pick-me-up in the car.
Charlie Day
