Will Arnett
When it sort of finally sets in that you're not going to be doing that anymore... it's disappointing.
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
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.

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 I think a lot of people felt like, ultimately - and this isn't the first time I've said this, so I'll bore you again with it - but ultimately it was... I think it felt like homework a bit for people.
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
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.

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.

Even if you make a mistake, you can go back and do the right thing.

You don't always have to run. Take good time to watch first, then decide.
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
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
I never really spent time being jealous. Maybe I should have.
