More quotes by 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
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
Even if you make a mistake, you can go back and do the right thing.
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
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
Playing the assholes in the movie is fun.
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
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
Well, we were never coming back to Fox... that was clear.
Will Arnett
I want my son to wear a helmet 24 hours a day.

Arrested Development was such an amazing experience in every way, and you know it was very unique in that it was a show that received a lot of critical acclaim, and yet we didn't ever achieve the ratings that we wanted.
Will Arnett
I never really spent time being jealous. Maybe I should have.
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
The show had run its course on the Fox network.
Will Arnett
Yeah, I don't think you can live anywhere else - it's such a great city [New York]. L.A. is kind of a necessary evil, but man, I love going back to New York.
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
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 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
Yeah, you know, within the context of TV families, these are pretty unsavory characters.
