More quotes by Kevin Nealon
It seems like all the sitcoms on now, the families are kind of dysfunctional.
Kevin Nealon
What happened was, I always wanted to be a singer/songwriter kind of guy like a James Taylor or Crosby, Stills and Nash type of thing I went to a lot of coffee houses and used to watch all those guys, but I never had the nerve to get up and do it because singing seems so personal and intimate to me. It was too revealing.
Kevin Nealon
'The Outer Limits' was one of those shows I grew up watching - that and The 'Twilight Zone.'
Kevin Nealon
I think the education system is great just the way it is. There's kids in my neighborhood in Los Angeles, seven years old, that can already speak fluent Spanish.
Kevin Nealon
I've noticed a surge when I go out somewhere, or if I'm doing stand-up.
Kevin Nealon
A special validates you as a stand-up by documenting your material.
Kevin Nealon
It's kind of fun when you're playing characters that aren't quite on the up and up and people still like you.
Kevin Nealon
It's tough getting older. You start falling apart, you know? My gums are starting to recede now. You can't tell tonight, though, 'cause I comb them forward.
Kevin Nealon
Saturday Night Live was a show that I never thought I would be on, because I didn't do sketch comedy and I didn't do impressions. I was a stand-up.
Kevin Nealon
When I began doing stand-up, it took me a long time to get an hour's worth of material together.
Kevin Nealon
When I first began doing TV pilots, my expectations were high. I didn't understand that world. So when 'Weeds' took off, I was so happy. Especially as I was just a guest star in the pilot. But once it got picked up, they made me a regular cast member.
Kevin Nealon
I became a vegetarian after I became aware of factory farming and slaughterhouses and the torture and inhumane handling of all these animals.
Kevin Nealon
I remember the first date I ever went out on. It was in high school. Her name was Marguerite. She was kind of a heavyset girl... I took her out on one date. We went out for dinner and a movie and a dinner.
Kevin Nealon
I learned how to draw from being bored in school. I would doodle on the margins of my paper
Kevin Nealon
I loved working on 'Happy Gilmore' because I love to travel to new places and we got to go to British Columbia. Any Adam Sandler film is fun to work on because it is a reunion of the boys club of guys that have worked together in the past.
Kevin Nealon
Basically, I'm a people pleaser who has a knack for disappointing.
Kevin Nealon
A novel is too much of a commitment. I tend to peruse Twitter - I check to see if I had any mentions and read the latest messages.
Kevin Nealon
I think Little Nicky was a divergence from the films Adam Sandler was used to doing, and he was taking a risk. I admire him for doing that.
Kevin Nealon
A whole generation of people that didn't know me from 'SNL' recognize me from 'Weeds' now. People recognize me once in a while and appreciate the work. It gets a little embarrassing but it's good. If you work as an accountant, you don't have people coming up to you in the streets saying, 'Hey, great job on tax statements!'
Kevin Nealon
When I was very young, I didn't really write my own material. I just memorized other peoples' jokes. Established comics, like Stanley Myron Handelman and people like that. And then, for every comic, you develop your own style after a while.
