More quotes by Harry Shearer
Music can happen with equal ease as a solo or collaborative venture, it seems to me.
Harry Shearer
The last president we had was the smartest guy anyone could remember and he did the dumbest thing anyone has ever seen in the White House so go figure.
Harry Shearer
To do then now would be retro. To do then then was very now-tro, if you will.
Harry Shearer
You know, radio was a really easy way to do the shows. You'd come in, do a read-through, there'd be a few rehearsals, then you'd come the night of the show and do it in front of the audience and then go home.
Harry Shearer
[The word class has] been excised from the acceptable political vocabulary, except in the limited usage of right-wingers when they accuse liberals of inciting 'class warfare' - a charge that means it's okay for rich people to vote their economic interests but it's not all right to encourage poor people to do so.
Harry Shearer
Privilege has its own way of seeing the world. It's not about the kind of people they are it's about the situation they're in.
Harry Shearer
I didn't have a lot of independent film connections. It really took until the digital film revolution came along that I realized that I could do it myself.
Harry Shearer
Democrats always like to brag that their guys are smarter than the opponents and Republicans always like to brag that their guys are more moral than the opponents. But if you're looking for morals in politics you're looking for bananas in the cheese department.
Harry Shearer
I think the British learn their history through the prism of this gallery of grotesques known as the royals.
Harry Shearer
I was never into candy and games and clowns.
Harry Shearer
I've got an odd, negative bond with C. Montgomery Burns. He reminds a lot of people of bosses they've worked for. He certainly reminds me of someone I'm working for.
Harry Shearer
I always used to sit next to Mel Blanc when we'd do the shows. When you have Jack Benny on one side and Mel Blanc on the other, you're not going to go far wrong.
Harry Shearer
For a guy who is always banging on about the masculine virtues, Nixon had this remarkable proclivity for very dainty gestures.
Harry Shearer
If Nixon were a Republican senator today, he would have been primaried out.
Harry Shearer
If you're going to do something that lasts 90 minutes, you can't really do it with stick figures.
Harry Shearer
I wasn't playing Nixon's satirical stick figure. I was playing Nixon the man. As an actor, I felt I had to get to the deeply flawed humanity of the guy.
Harry Shearer
The hardest work most of us do is maintaining the appearance of normality.
Harry Shearer
Here's a guy [Richard Nixon] who had no gift for small talk, never liked to be around strangers, was physically awkward, and he goes into the one business that calls for ease with strangers and a gift for small talk.
Harry Shearer
You have to do real acting, not just do a voice.
Harry Shearer
I have a very strong visual memory of the first time I made him laugh. That was remarkable. I was like, Oh, God, I just made Jack Benny laugh.
Harry Shearer
