More quotes by Denis Leary
If a character dies, you get to do a big, juicy death scene. But the flip side is you're out of the sequel, which is where the real money is.
Denis Leary
I just think it's difficult for them to see the forest for the trees right now, which I can't blame them for, given the circumstances they found themselves in.
Denis Leary
Firefighters don't go on strike.
Denis Leary
Having dealt with a lot of real firefighters, I know there are a lot of guys who, for lack of a better term, become addicted to the grief because it has kept them connected to these guys that they felt responsible for having lost.
Denis Leary
What I've learned is that life is too short and movies are too long.

Denis Leary
I didn't raise my kids with the fear of God.
Denis Leary
For us as writers, it's really important to have songs we believe in - even before sometimes we shoot a scene. If we have a song that's so perfectly designed for a scene on 'Rescue Me,' we'll play it on loud speakers during the shooting. It helps the cameraman and it helps the director, and it helps the actors know what the feel is.
Denis Leary
If you see me doing a new stand-up special, it probably means I've been out of work for a while.
Denis Leary
I have good kids, I love my kids. I try to bring them up the right way, not spanking them. I find that I don't have to spank them. I find that waving the gun around pretty much gets the same job done!
Denis Leary
I will not bond. I will not share. I refuse to nurture.
Denis Leary
There we were in the middle of a sexual revolution wearing clothes that guaranteed we wouldn't get laid.
Denis Leary
I'm pretty much a chocolate guy. I'm up for any type of chocolate. Any chocolate.
Denis Leary
White men have screwed this country up! I would like a black, female…. everything all rolled into one.I want something different. I want a real change. People, I want a president who speaks well, who has a sense of humor. This guy is such a moron! It's beyond the point where it's a joke. He's an idiot.
Denis Leary
You really want to have a back-up plan, so when you don't feel like acting, or you're getting older and settling down, you can produce your own stuff. So that's when I set about forming my own company and getting creative control.
Denis Leary
