More quotes by Denis Leary
I like to give the actors freedom to take what we have on the page and improve on it. And they do that quite a bit.
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
The key thing is to get that one splash - that one song or that one video for a song - that catches people's eyes. Because it's all digital content now.
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.

Where I grew up, the basketball courts were rarely used.
Denis Leary
I believe in prescription drugs. I believe in feeling better.

I would have to commit a crime and have cops chase me. That would be the only way to get me to jog five miles.

My dad was very much a John Wayne kind of guy, but he was also a great guy, great sense of humor, a real dedicated dad. I don't think he ever missed a hockey game I was in.
Denis Leary
I didn't raise my kids with the fear of God.

It's hard to have a film and television career and do music work at the same time.
Denis Leary
There's not going to be a 'Rescue Me' movie. Not a chance.
Denis Leary
I don't really have a lot of fun playing just straight good guys. It's not my thing. It's like Tom Hanks territory.
Denis Leary
When I first got famous, Greg Dulli was also just starting to cook with the Afghan Whigs, and because of the MTV awards I met Dave Grohl and Nirvana and all these rock and roll bands. So I had experience with what it was like when people were taking off at that time.
Denis Leary
The biggest battle for a lot of people who come out of the theater, which is where I was trained, is that they can never forget that a camera is pointed at them.
Denis Leary
You know why the French hate us so much? Thay gave us the croissant. And you know what we did with it? We turned it into our croissandwich, thank you very much.
Denis Leary
The only difference between kids and jungle animals is pants. Kids wear them. Jungle animals don't.
Denis Leary
Here's the problem with Easter. The Catholic Church needs to pick a date because it keeps moving. And I think the reason they always have Easter moving to different dates is to catch us.
Denis Leary
I really want to do a western film. It's one of my favorite movie genres of all time.
Denis Leary
I love Santa Monica and Venice because I like the beach. I have a lot of friends in that area.
Denis Leary
You just can't win. Men have very recent land mines in their heads. Women have recorded conversations and photographs in their heads from 15 years ago.
