More quotes by Jason Alexander
I can get motivated seeing a kid at my sons school overcome a learning disability.
Jason Alexander
Divorce is very difficult, especially on the kids. Of course, I'm the result of my parents having stayed together, so you never know.
Jason Alexander
As George Costanza would say, when they're applauding, stop.
Jason Alexander
Acting is not terribly important work, and I have always felt a bit of guilt about pursuing something that is so selfish. I love doing it, but it is never something that feels like it's going to change or save the world.
Jason Alexander
I found that looking at the Israeli/Palestinian conflict from an outside vantage point was actually quite distancing. The history of the conflict, the personalities, the violence, the distrust, and the seeming lack of viable solutions made meaningful involvement feel impossible. What changed that, for me, was changing the vantage point.
Jason Alexander
Things that make me laugh range from a wonderful stand-up like Jerry Seinfeld, Louis C.K. and Chris Rock to my son Gabe, who does great improv work. I also look backwards to the great comedic actors like Jackie Gleason, Paul Lynde and Phil Silvers.
Jason Alexander
Boston was a great town to go to college in. Maybe that's why there's so many colleges there. I love the town, and I loved Boston University.

It specifically says in the Torah that you can eat shrimp and bacon in a Chinese restaurant.
Jason Alexander
We made a deal that was acceptable to us. We got paid very handsomely for our final season.
Jason Alexander
Parking at a garage is like going to a prostitute. Why pay for it when you can apply yourself, and then may be you can get it for free.
Jason Alexander
But I didn't know much about directing a movie.
Jason Alexander
The thing about For Better or Worse is the only thing that made me an okay director for that is that I have a sense of humor, and it was supposed to be funny.
Jason Alexander
Well, let's put in this way, I grew up in West New York, New Jersey.
Jason Alexander
I think with challenge comes a little more fun.
Jason Alexander
Even when I was an actor in training, one criticism my teachers had was that I should think about directing instead of acting because the best actors see the material they’re working on through blinders. They can’t see anything but their role. I could never really do that.
Jason Alexander
The actress (Heidi Swedberg) is this wonderful girl, and ... I love her! i couldn't figure out how to play off of her. Her instincts for doing a scene - where the comedy was - and mine were always misfiring.
Jason Alexander
Israel is near and dear to my heart

There is no community service in Seinfeld. But rather than lauding that, I think it shows the insane banality of it.
