More quotes by Terry Crews
The Muppets are no joke. They are for real. Each one has an agent and manager and all that stuff. I'm not even kidding.
Terry Crews
Do you really miss anything that was worth watching at the MTV Awards?
Terry Crews
All of a sudden I got a call the night of the first time we were filming and they're like, Terry, we made a mistake. We need you to be you. You're not a joke with these guys and you're not mousy, you're very aggressive. Now it just so happens that you're going through these things, but we need you to be more physical in your role.
Terry Crews
I'll never forget my worst business decision. I bought a Nissan Pathfinder with my first signing bonus. I didn't even have a place to live, but I bought a car. Not a smart move but, believe me, I learned from that mistake.
Terry Crews
I was a sports nut. I stayed after school probably three hours every day - from fall, to winter, to spring. I went from football to basketball to track and it started all over again. I loved all of it. I just loved being an athlete and all that it entailed. It really accounts for who I am.
Terry Crews
Art was always my thing. I had an art scholarship before I had a football scholarship. I'm a left-handed, right-brained, painting-drawing guy. That was always my skill.
Terry Crews
I just see the opportunities and I go for them. I don't want to play my career safe. I've had my successes and I've had a few failures, too. But you just keep going and do the best that you can. That's what I've learned.
Terry Crews
I was always more of a film guy than an athlete guy. I had an art scholarship at Western.
Terry Crews
I consider myself a feminist. My whole life has been about standing up for women, for anybody really, who's been abused.
Terry Crews
I want to be a man who mixes strengths and compassion. That's my magic elixir, so to speak.
Terry Crews
When you have writers who recognize they're making a wrong turn and correct it, I knew I was in good hands.
Terry Crews
I had a party to raise money, spent 15 grand on the party alone. People ate, drank and left. I thought all these bigwig ballplayers would give you know I had all the big players come. Nothing, I lost money on that party. I think maybe someone put like $400 in the pot or something. I was like come on, throw me a bone!
Terry Crews
I always stay in the urban comedy genre because it just never gets old. It's one of those things that people watch, again and again. This is that kind of movie. It gives you longevity.
Terry Crews
I kind of put myself out there a lot just because I trust the people I'm working with. You have to see what works and what doesn't. Sometimes it's not my job to find that out, it's just my job to do what the character calls for. And if you change the character I'll do that too.
Terry Crews
Embrace failure. Never never quit. Get very comfortable with that uneasy feeling of going against the grain and trying something new. It will constantly take you places you never thought you could go. This has been my mantra for years. I always remember I won't do things right on the first try. So failure is mandatory for success!
Terry Crews
The big thing with all parents is they just want to be left alone. I want no demands. That's the best gift for Father's Day, just leave them alone.
Terry Crews
You have to empathize with your children. If you love them, you never really get too angry with them when they make a mistake, because kids are expected to make mistakes. Having children, you start to see yourself through them.
Terry Crews
I call myself the Amusement Park. That's because I'm funny and scary at the same time.
Terry Crews
Never stop being YOU. I am out to be the best ME I can be. Do what you LOVE and you will be badass.
Terry Crews
I would never do a role where I'm naked in bed with a chick having sex.
