More quotes by Will Arnett
It doesn't look great if you cancel the reigning Best Comedy Program, you know, you're gonna take a hit from a... from sort of a public relations standpoint.
Will Arnett
I remember asking my dad, Why didn't you ever move to the States? You probably could have made a lot more money. My dad said, Because I have an obligation to give back. I always admired him for that.
Will Arnett
I never really spent time being jealous. Maybe I should have.
Will Arnett
All jokes aside, it's a very difficult job playing the straight man. Jason is potentially the most brilliant straight man that ever was because he's also really funny while doing it, which is even harder. I've always seen myself playing characters who are flawed. We use comedy in our lives to obscure the drama.
Will Arnett
When all of your friends are getting pregnant, you start thinking about it. But for Amy and I, show business is our baby.
Will Arnett
Playing the assholes in the movie is fun.
Will Arnett
I probably suffered from ADHD, but they weren't so quick to diagnose it back then. For PE, they'd drop you in the woods with a compass and a pack of matches. It gave you confidence that you could rely on yourself.
Will Arnett
I am humbled by the nomination. I got to work with a cast and writers made up of geniuses. The good news is I can finally realize my life long dream and buy my wife a solid gold speed boat.
Will Arnett
When I was in my 20s, I wanted to go after dramatic roles, and I didn't have a tremendous amount of success with that.
Will Arnett
When it sort of finally sets in that you're not going to be doing that anymore... it's disappointing.
Will Arnett
Arrested Development opened a lot of doors for me, and once I sort of became, I guess what you'd say available, there was a lot of opportunity out there, and it's been nice a lot of people have found it in their hearts to offer me movie parts.
Will Arnett
Even if you make a mistake, you can go back and do the right thing.
Will Arnett
If you have a character that doesn't have anything wrong with him, there's nothing funny about it.
Will Arnett
You've got to rely on people that you trust and you love.
Will Arnett
I don't want to make a show about AA because it's a personal experience for anybody who is a part of that. My relationship with it has changed over the years, and I wanted the show to reflect that in a real way.
Will Arnett
I often get, 'Oh, you always play the asshole.' An asshole is somebody who knows that they're doing it, but continues to behave a certain way. The one sort of common thread to me has always been that these are imperfect people.
Will Arnett
The idea of the straight man is very important. But I'd rather it be somebody else, because it's not as fun. And when I say somebody else, of course I mean Jason Bateman. He's born to play boring characters because he's such a bore. He's one of the most boring human beings.
Will Arnett
Yeah, you know, within the context of TV families, these are pretty unsavory characters.
Will Arnett
Well, no, I didn't because I didn't even know the nominations were coming out. I gotta say, it wasn't even on my radar. I hadn't... I hadn't even thought about it.
Will Arnett
Theres a lot of lying and these are people who are incredibly flawed, and not in very sort of empathetic ways, either. Some of the things they do are pretty awful and some of the things they do to each other are pretty awful.
