When real actors are approaching their work, we could be on a little stage somewhere, doing community theater. It's all the same. They're just trying to make the scene work. They're just trying to do the best they can and figure it out.

More quotes by 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
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
I just don't feel like part of the fraternity of actors. I do geek out. All 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
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 also remember that Snoop Dogg visited the set in New York, with a joint in his mouth that looked like a cigar. There's your anger management. I thought, Isn't he going to get arrested? It was like he lived on another planet. God bless him, he was very nice. Who wouldn't be nice when you're that stoned?
Kurt Fuller
I always liked to go to Vancouver to shoot, because I think Vancouver's a beautiful city.
Kurt Fuller
Why focus on what somebody might think? Nobody talks [on TV] like people really talk most of 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
Do less than you ever thought it was possible to do.
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 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
When you're working, nobody's a star. We're all just actors trying to figure it out.
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
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 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
Show business is a great place to fail upward... and I guess that's what I've done.
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
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
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
