More quotes by Will Arnett
The show had run its course on the Fox network.
Will Arnett
That's kind of the nature of the profession I'm in. It's frustrating. Things don't go your way, and I was no exception, in that I spent many years struggling to get work, and there are a lot of people more talented than myself who got jobs before me. And I finally, after years and years and years, got lucky.
Will Arnett
When it sort of finally sets in that you're not going to be doing that anymore... it's disappointing.
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
And then we've got Blades of Glory, and we've got Brothers Solomon, and I've got a script in development with this guy Chuck Martin who used to write on Arrested, and, you know, we have a few things in various stages of development.

When all of your friends are getting pregnant, you start thinking about it. But for Amy and I, show business is our baby.

But as a result of that, there was, once the show ended, there was this talk for sort of four, five months about what was going to happen, and if we were going to move to Showtime, and if we were going to be bought by ABC or whatever.
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
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
When you're young, you kind of take yourself seriously, and you think, like, People need to see what I can do. And it's so laughable, especially with actors.
Will Arnett
Arrested Development opened a lot of doors for me.
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.
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
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 mean, I gotta say one of the greatest victories on that show was when we got picked up for the back nine of the first season, and they made it a full order.
Will Arnett
Because we have this whole other human being we have to think about other than ourselves. We had the luxury before of being totally self-centered.
Will Arnett
Playing the assholes in the movie is fun.
Will Arnett
I want my son to wear a helmet 24 hours a day. If it was socially acceptable I'd be the first one to have my kid in a full helmet and like a cage across his face mask.
Will Arnett
My first movie was this independent that I did on the Erie Canal in 1995, called Erie, that I don't know if you could even get, actually with Felicity Huffman. And then from that I did this film that was eventually called The Broken Giant later that fall. And then I kind of started getting into doing pilots.
Will Arnett
If you have a character that doesn't have anything wrong with him, there's nothing funny about it.
