I think we're all guilty of mistaking the actors we've seen over and over again - we think we know them.
Charlie Day
Because Guillermo's [del Toro] obviously a painter painting a picture and my job is just to provide the color that he probably already has in his mind.
Charlie Day
I never saw myself as a comedian. I saw myself as a guy who can act funny.
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
Writing is like pulling your hair out. You have nothing, and you can't think of anything, but you have to think of something.
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
I eat stickers all the time dude!
Charlie Day
Sometimes even hearing a bad idea is a great way to get to a good idea.
Charlie Day
I was the world's smallest man, covered in freckles with a squeaky, scratchy voice. And I still am, but I've learned to love myself.
Charlie Day
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.
Charlie Day
Everyone knows what it's like to feel like the underdog. Everyone wants to be accepted. Ultimately, everybody wants to be loved.
Charlie Day
I have expanded my mind and destroyed my liver but I didn't give up.
Charlie Day
I think people are surprised when I string two sentences together. But I had a fiercely academic upbringing.
Charlie Day
For the people who don't know, my character could described, in a nutshell, as the bar dumb-dumb.
Charlie Day
I waited tables in New York, and when you're in that line of work, you often have a horrible boss.
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
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
Still when I go on talk shows, I worry that I have to live up to a comedic persona.
Charlie Day
Technically, I'm a New Yorker.
Charlie Day
I always have my best thoughts on the toilet.
