More quotes by Kurt Fuller
There are some things you can't unsee, and there are some movies you can't get off IMDB no matter how hard you try.
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
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 just don't feel like part of the fraternity of actors. I do geek out. All the time.
Kurt Fuller
I always liked to go to Vancouver to shoot, because I think Vancouver's a beautiful city.
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
Do less than you ever thought it was possible to do.
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 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 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
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
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
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 don't know: Why aren't people fascinated by air traffic controllers?
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
It's never good to just imitate somebody. That never works, because then you're not filling it with anything.
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
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
