More quotes by Will Arnett
Everything's not black and white. We choose to make bad decisions or not. I wanted to explore that and shine a light on it. Chip is trying to be a better person and lead a better life. His methods are just super flawed.
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 want my son to wear a helmet 24 hours a day.

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
Yeah, you know, within the context of TV families, these are pretty unsavory characters.
Will Arnett
Well, we were never coming back to Fox... that was clear.
Will Arnett
Arrested Development opened a lot of doors for me.
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've always maintained that I don't think comedy should be reviewed. I think it's un-reviewable, because it is so subjective.
Will Arnett
If you have a character that doesn't have anything wrong with him, there's nothing funny about it.
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
When it sort of finally sets in that you're not going to be doing that anymore... it's disappointing.
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.
Will Arnett
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
I never really spent time being jealous. Maybe I should have.
Will Arnett
Playing the assholes in the movie is fun.
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
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
You don't always have to run. Take good time to watch first, then decide.
