It's never good to just imitate somebody. That never works, because then you're not filling it with anything.

More quotes by Kurt Fuller
The best thing to do, if you really want to be good, is drink vodka all day, from the second you get up to the second they say, Cut!
Kurt Fuller
When you're working, nobody's a star. We're all just actors trying to figure it out.
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
I was probably 34 when I got my first on-camera acting job, and it was through a friend of mine, who was working as a writer on the show, and I've never been more frightened in my life.
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
Paul Michael Glaser was very nice to me, and I was again told, Do less and less and less and less. And I still was bad! I can't believe I kept getting hired after some of these things I did! It's baffling to me. I'll go back and look at it, and I can't even watch it [Running man film].
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 grew up as a very sarcastic person. I was always the class clown, and to date girls I had to be really funny. I was really skinny growing up.
Kurt Fuller
Do less than you ever thought it was possible to do.
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 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
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
Show business is a great place to fail upward... and I guess that's what I've done.
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
Why focus on what somebody might think? Nobody talks [on TV] like people really talk most of the time.
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 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 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.
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
I just don't feel like part of the fraternity of actors. I do geek out. All the time.
Kurt Fuller
