More quotes by Joel McHale
Bill O'Reilly, Megyn Kelly and Sean Hannity are the Mount Rushmore of keeping old people angry.
Joel McHale
My goal and my career is definitely not to be famous. That's a really horrible goal, just to be famous for the sake of having fame.
Joel McHale
Our mantra is that 90 percent of all television is bad, and ten percent has never been better. We make fun of that 90 percent.
Joel McHale
It's important to have the right agent - people that are working hard for you. But an actor needs to be in control of their career no matter how good the representation is.
Joel McHale
Well, that would be a title [the busiest guy in Hollywood] still reserved for Ryan Seacrest. I have one assistant he has about nine. I don't have a food taster yet, I don't have a fluffer either. But, yes there are some days when I don't know if I am coming or going.
Joel McHale
I have always survived with comedy, in that I grew up very dyslexic and did not get good grades. I always thought I was dumb, and there are many people out there that would agree
Joel McHale
When I initially met with Robert I was just so excited to meet the guy. I was able to go to Troublemaker Studios in Austin, Texas and just hanging out was fantastic. Working on this took up all of my weekends while I was shooting Community. It was crazy, but again, no regrets.
Joel McHale
I used humor as survival, as a weapon and as comfort.
Joel McHale
It was great having them around and I have to say pretty weird seeing them all grown up! Plus we have Jeremy Piven and Ricky Gervais agreed to be in it and Antonio Banderas has a cameo in and that's a testament to Robert. He's such a good director and such a good guy. He gets everybody, because everyone wants to work with him.
Joel McHale
Follow what your head is telling you and work hard. That's the big secret.
Joel McHale
I don't think the NFL had the slightest intention of taking me, except as maybe a water boy.
Joel McHale
Yes, I would say my comedy is grunge, evidenced by the fact my jokes have put an end to big-hair glam comedy.
Joel McHale
It's pretty difficult to promote something the week after Christmas and the week before New Year's.
Joel McHale
Five-hundred years ago people were saying in manuscripts, Can you believe these kids today? They were saying that same phrase everyone says now. No one can believe the youth and what they're doing and how culture is going and how it might fall apart.
Joel McHale
In prison, inmates sometimes use Cheetos and grape juice as makeup. I wouldn't use that beauty regimen around Britney Spears - she might lick your face off!
Joel McHale
I used comedy as a way to combat my dyslexia. I was barely getting by scholastically, so I used a lot of humor.
Joel McHale
Yes, believe me I am black and blue. Plus I just finished a Seth MacFarlane movie called Ted and I can't believe the cast I got to work with there [Mila Kunis, Mark Wahlberg]. I feel like I am winning some kind of contest to trick people into working with me.
Joel McHale
People have always said since TV was invented what a cultural wasteland it is but I think it is the worst and the best. It is the golden age of television.
Joel McHale
You have to have talent. You have to get the audition and then you have to nail the audition.
Joel McHale
My intention with The Soup was to hopefully follow in the footsteps of past hosts, like Greg Kinnear. The pedigree of that show was really good and if it could just get me into some of those audition rooms I've always wanted to get into that I could not get into, then I would be very happy.
