I started out old, but I have to say that I've been very lucky to work consistently since I started. I've really never been out of work.

More quotes by Kurt Fuller
I suppose there are a lot of people who'd kill to have my career, but I still feel like a fan.
Kurt Fuller
Show business is a great place to fail upward... and I guess that's what I've done.
Kurt Fuller
You don't go to Berkeley to become an actor. In fact, I don't think you go to any school to become an actor. You've just sort of got to go out there and act.
Kurt Fuller
I was selling real estate at the time, in Pacific Palisades, California, so imagine that: getting a note and a bottle of champagne from Jack Nicholson when I'd barely made a dime as an actor. It really kept me going.
Kurt Fuller
I was lucky enough to be a type. Sort of a bad-guy type at the time, because I was tall and I had dark eyes. A lot of times, you don't have to be good you just have to be the right type.
Kurt Fuller
I had no idea that, when you audition for television or movies, you go to a big building - like, an office building - and you walk in the room, and everybody, I assumed, was smarter than me and better than me, and there's actors you recognize. I once fainted at an audition.
Kurt Fuller
I always liked to go to Vancouver to shoot, because I think Vancouver's a beautiful city.
Kurt Fuller
I am not a member of the chamber of commerce for show business, believe me, but there are some really good people in the business, and [Tom] Hanks has this everyman decency onscreen, but he actually is that guy.
Kurt Fuller
Playing Destroyo, who was sort of a 'Silence Of The Lambs' type character, I'd say I was wearing about 50 pounds of rubber and foam rubber and makeup. But I had no idea who The Tick was. I'm not a big graphic-novel guy. I don't even know if 'The Tick' was a graphic novel!
Kurt Fuller
I guess show business is a lot like baseball: Wait until next year! You just never know. Some of the shittiest shows I've ever seen run forever, and some of the best things never get a chance.
Kurt Fuller
I don't know: Why aren't people fascinated by air traffic controllers?
Kurt Fuller
I just don't feel like - I've never felt like - part of the entertainment industry. I still just feel like I'm trying to work my way in. And that's weird.
Kurt Fuller
I had great affection for Dana Carvey, and I think we all thought, Dana's the guy. There's the comic genius.
Kurt Fuller
I always had to rely on humor and sarcasm. And when I started having kids, that doesn't work with kids. Kids don't understand sarcasm, and they certainly don't understand my humor.
Kurt Fuller
Why focus on what somebody might think? Nobody talks [on TV] like people really talk most of the time.
Kurt Fuller
To be an actor, a lot of times it's a strange combination of high confidence and low self-esteem. Which is a weird combination to have, but I think it's sort of very common among actors.
Kurt Fuller
If I had not lived the life I had lived and did not have the wife I have and the children I have, I would never know how to play that role [of Dr. Bedsloe], and I wouldn't have any of those qualities. It's a real example of how it is true that the camera catches everything. Even the stuff you're trying to hide.
Kurt Fuller
I just don't feel like part of the fraternity of actors. I do geek out. All the time.
Kurt Fuller
Without being good enough, I started figuring out how to make my way through the minefield of a script, which is what it was to me at the time, and the rest is semi-history.
Kurt Fuller
I didn't watch the Emmys because - well, for one, I have been to awards shows, and I understand how it works. For another, sour grapes. Actually, that's probably number one.
Kurt Fuller
