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 don't know: Why aren't people fascinated by air traffic controllers?
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
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
Do less than you ever thought it was possible to do.
Kurt Fuller
Why focus on what somebody might think? Nobody talks [on TV] like people really talk most of the time.
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 just don't feel like part of the fraternity of actors. I do geek out. All the time.
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 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 had great affection for Dana Carvey, and I think we all thought, Dana's the guy. There's the comic genius.
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
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
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
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 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
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 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 liked to go to Vancouver to shoot, because I think Vancouver's a beautiful city.
