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.

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.

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.

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.

I studied acting in school and then of course couldn't get an acting job.
Denis Leary
Everyone's got skeletons in their closet, and I've got a million in mine, believe me. I tested the envelope I pushed it. Whenever somebody in authority told me not to do something, I did it just to find out why they said not to do it.
Denis Leary
I went to see the 'Spider-Man' movies because my wife is a fan, and so are my kids.
Denis Leary
When I'm on stage, that's me. It's blown up, but that's me.
Denis Leary
I was working with Peter Tolan, who was my writing partner on those two [Rescue Me and The Job], and he did The Larry Sanders Show with Garry Shandling, and he always said that the second season is better because you know the actors.

When I was doing standup, I always wanted to get out of the standup world and take it back into the theatrical world, like with No Cure For Cancer.
