Charlie Day
I don't think you should just do what makes you happy. Do what makes you great.
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
Actors put ourselves in awkward positions all the time.
Charlie Day

Charlie Day
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.
Charlie Day
