More quotes by Denis Leary
We've always talked about doing something else and Campbell Scott is always busy and I'm always busy. But when we came up with the idea of doing the potato famine as a hip hop musical, I wanted somebody who was going to bring gravity.

I believe in prescription drugs. I believe in feeling better.
Denis Leary
We drink and we die and continue to drink.

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 obviously identify with the anti-authority figure. I've pretty much always had problems with authority, ever since I was a kid.
Denis Leary
I remember 9/11 we had 'Comics Come Home' about a month after those events. That night, even the comedians were concerned. Would the audience be ready to laugh? It was a release for everyone.

Worrying about tomorrow is the best way to screw up today.
Denis Leary
Everybody's vying for people's attention in terms of eyeballs, earholes, and dollars.
Denis Leary
What I've learned is that life is too short and movies are too long.
Denis Leary
I'd love to play in a Red Sox game. It would be so awesome to actually walk out on the field and play, just for one inning. I'd also steal everything I could get my hands on in the clubhouse, which is why they won't let me do it.
Denis Leary
I'm one of the people that when I wake up I have to do what I do. It's not like I want to do it. I kind of have to do it.
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
Nobody can make more fun of me than I already make of myself.
Denis Leary
I'm born and raised in the Northeast. My parents are Irish immigrants. So our tendency is to shy away from the big yellow ball that comes up in the sky every once in a while.
Denis Leary
I did 12 years with nuns, you know. So I came out of it going, like, 'I think Jesus is all right.' The rest of it I think stinks to the high heavens.
Denis Leary
Personally, I think Jim Henson said it best when he said Anybody got an aspirin? I think I've got a cold.
