More quotes by John Larroquette
Again, as egotistical as I am, as self-centered as I am, and as much as I love strangers idolizing me, I find it very crass to be self-promoter in a way.
John Larroquette
The opportunity to carry water every night to James Earl Jones on stage is a dream come true.
John Larroquette
I was a French Quarter rat from the moment I could get on a bus by myself and go to the French Quarter. I played music most of my early life and it just seemed that to entertain people was a really good thing to do.
John Larroquette
I don't do a lot of guest shots on television.
John Larroquette
The sad fact is that the vast majority of drunks stay drunks. There's a small minority of us who reach that fork in the road where one side says 'live' and the other says 'drink'.

I don't have anything against audiobooks. I actually did a couple of them - but not many. I just never got into it, timing-wise. I don't listen to them, if that's any indication of my feelings about them. I'd rather read.
John Larroquette
I'd turn off the internet for a month and make us actually talk to each other, and be responsible for your opinions and not be able to hide behind the anonymity of the cyber-wall to speak your mind. To actually have to face people and see their reactions and discuss it - actually discuss it. It won't happen. Unless the grid goes down.

I love reading. I'm fortunate enough to have signed books by Faulkner, Steinbeck, Thomas Pynchon.
John Larroquette
Unfortunately, I'm not a history buff. I don't read biographies, except of some of those writers whom I've collected over the years - particularly Samuel Beckett and Henry Miller, people like Charles Bukowski and John Fante and David Foster Wallace.

You take jobs so much of the time when you don't need to necessarily work for a living, but it becomes important who you are going to work with.
John Larroquette
I love working with Gary Sinise.
John Larroquette
The only thing I haven't done as an actor, other than Thai puppet theater somewhere, is act on a Broadway stage.
John Larroquette
I certainly don't condemn anyone who listens to audiobooks. It seems to me that any way we get good literature in our brain is worthwhile.
John Larroquette
I can't pass up a blank book when I see it in a bookstore. And I write a sentence in it, and then I put it away.
John Larroquette
I've seen more convincing wigs on William Shatner.
John Larroquette
I guess we all have some sort of Rubicon that we haven't crossed in our lives and we've thought about for who knows how long. And for me, it's writing.
John Larroquette
I began my career in Los Angeles and started working fairly quickly.
John Larroquette
I collect books, primarily first-edition 20th-century fiction.
John Larroquette
I'd like to be doing quality acting in a quality role and making as many people as possible happy.
