Calvin: I'm a genius, but I'm a misunderstood genius. Hobbes: What's misunderstood about you? Calvin: Nobody thinks I'm a genius. Corfu? It's just a poor man's Pensacola.

John Ratzenberger
I speak to women's groups, Chambers of Commerce, manufacturing organizations. Just did the Mike Huckabee Show. I do about two speaking engagements a month. I still enjoy travelling.
John Ratzenberger

John Ratzenberger
I never went to drama school, so that was more like I was getting away with it.
John Ratzenberger

John Ratzenberger
It appalls me that the people who decide what Americans will be watching on the tube have never been to the United States. Not the real United States.
John Ratzenberger
So many actors have sheer guts, will, and determination they just need some preparation.
John Ratzenberger
I always played a soldier, sailor, or policemen.
John Ratzenberger
I don't know that I ever did see Star Wars as any different. I was certainly proud that I did it.
