My favorite thing about New York is the people, because I think they’re misunderstood. I don’t think people realize how kind New York people are.
You have to be as light as you can be and not get weighed down and stuck in your emotion, stuck in your body, stuck in your head. You just want to always be trying to elevate somehow.
You’ll never be good if you don’t know that you are.
I'm just a potato that won't quit. I'm a potato with some legs. Some have eyes, I've got legs.
The only way we’ll ever know what it’s like to be you is if you work your best at being you as often as you can, and keep reminding yourself: That’s where home is.
It’s fun to watch someone like John Goodman, and yet it takes work. People say ‘he’s not acting, he’s being himself.’ Well it’s hard to be yourself, it’s the hardest job there is.
No one really wants to admit they are lonely, and it is never really addressed very much between friends and family. But I have felt lonely many times in my life.
I realized the more fun I had, the more relaxed I was working, the better I worked.
Movie acting suits me because I only need to be good for ninety seconds at a time.
If you walk up to some random person on the street, grab them by the shoulder, and say 'Did you just see what I saw?!', you'll find that no-one wants to talk to you.
Awards are meaningless to me, and I have nothing but disdain for anyone who actively campaigns to get one.
I improvise whenever I feel it's important, or whenever I think that something's there. It's nice to have a script that's so well-written that I don't have to improvise. I mean, I used to have to re-write whole movies; this is kind of nice.
I count on the kindness of strangers.
But I can only take so much TV, because there is so much advice. I find people will preach about virtually anything - your diet, how to live your life, how to improve your golf. The lot. I have always had a thing against the Mister Know-It-Alls.
There are people who drove me crazy, but they got the job done. And when I see that person again, I nod my head. Respect.
Zombies dont mess with other zombies.
Harold Ramis and I together did the ‘National Lampoon Show’ off Broadway, ‘Meatballs,’ ‘Stripes,’ ‘Caddyshack,’ ‘Ghostbusters’ and ‘Groundhog Day.’ He earned his keep on this planet. God bless him.
Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!
I have a brother who gives socks for Christmas. He gives socks. Every year, I get a pair of socks from him.
We're born alone. We do need each other. It's lonely to really effectively live your life, and anyone you can get help from or give help to; that's part of your obligation.
Totie Fields is one of my benchmarks for a lot of things. There was a standard of show business.
'Groundhog Day' was one of the greatest scripts ever written. It didn't even get nominated for an Academy Award.
Somewhere there's a score being kept, so you have an obligation to live life as well as you can, be as engaged as you can.
We still have to put some cherry syrup on it, and then we can eat it
That's the reason I'm not the one that's dead because the attraction of the fast life is very powerful.
