Fred Armisen Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Fred Armisen:

I will always, no matter what, be a punk more than anything.

I am immediately disinterested when I hear mountain-climbing stories.

Fred Armisen

I wanted so badly to be in a famous band, and it was not happening. I played drums with different bands and with the Blue Man Group in Chicago, but I definitely felt like, 'Wow, I did not picture my life being like this.'

Fred Armisen

Wayne Coyne has put out Flaming Lips records in gummy bear skulls and all these different kinds of packaging that's really, really inventive. And that's what you should always do.

Fred Armisen

Sometimes 'Portlandia' can be pretty traditional. But the stuff I've always loved on 'SNL' has always been the weirdest stuff I've done. The stuff that went on at 10 to 1 in the morning.

Fred Armisen

I like to think Portland and L.A. are not rivals; they're cousins. As cities on the West Coast, they're distinct in their own way but still culturally similar.

Fred Armisen

I think Ian MacKaye is everything that I always wanted to be.

Fred Armisen

I have a problem with sweets. I have an inability to eat a just little bit. It's almost like I can't even enjoy chocolate anymore - I have to stuff it into my brain, cram it into my ears.

Fred Armisen

I feel bad for everyone I've gone out with.

Fred Armisen

Prince is my favorite ever. I've liked Prince since... It's been a really long time. Even in junior high. I used to only like punk for a while, and I had all these rules for what kinds of groups were cool, and who was not cool, but as soon as I saw this one Prince video... It just broke all those rules. I was like, 'I love this no matter what.'

Fred Armisen

Art should not be an easy thing.

Fred Armisen

I really like watching TV at home.

Fred Armisen

Surround yourself with people you like and respect; surround yourself with people you just want to be around and keep making things.

Fred Armisen

I am opposed to vacations and leisure. I try to make every day a work day. Even if there's nothing on my schedule, I will try do at least one task that is work-related.

Fred Armisen

If something seems like a little venue, don't treat it like that. Do it all. If you're sort of wondering why you're doing something at some location, just do it - any size theater, production, or whatever. It's all helpful.

Fred Armisen

I was really close to being this guy who used to be in this band who is still playing and trying to get some recordings together, but I got really lucky.

Fred Armisen

I spent most of my 20s playing music. I was in a band, and we worked really hard and did not get very far.

Fred Armisen

The bands that were big in '77, like the Clash and the Sex Pistols and Talking Heads, I got into them in the early '80s. And it changed my life. It got into my DNA.

Fred Armisen

I believe in limitations. I think the worst art ever made - in my opinion, because it's all so subjective - is where the artist had complete freedom.

Fred Armisen

I find it weird to use my own voice on TV.

Fred Armisen

Every day, I wanna work on being a better person, not just to others but to myself.

Fred Armisen

Everyone knows deep in their hearts that the drums are the coolest instrument, and that a band is only as good as its drummer. So I'm all for drum solos. I'm all for drummers hamming it up. I'm all for drummers standing up and kicking over the kit.

Fred Armisen

I would see people on TV, or I'd see bands I really liked, and I thought, 'I want that.'

Fred Armisen

I love painters because I don't paint, so I get to enjoy art; I like collecting paintings.

Fred Armisen

I'm obsessed with my 20s. I buy things that I wanted in my 20s. It's weird; it's a weird thing that I didn't grow out of.

Fred Armisen

Steve Jobs was a real rock star to me. I looked forward to his products like people look forward to albums.

Fred Armisen

There's no judgment on bands that continue on who aren't popular; some people get enjoyment out of it. I'm just not one of those people.

Fred Armisen

I love 'Saturday Night Live,' and I really feel like people who have left before me have always stayed with the show. They never really quite left, which is nice. Everyone kind of stays close.

Fred Armisen

When I'm hungry, I need to eat right away.

Fred Armisen

We almost called the 'Portlandia' show 'Stumptown.' That was the original name.

Fred Armisen

That's one of the great things about Los Angeles, that people just play music, and it's all very welcoming and welcomed.

Fred Armisen

There's almost no such thing as a hipster.

Fred Armisen

I would really like to do a movie. Schedule-wise I don't know when exactly, but I think it would be great to do a Portlandia movie. Some of my favorite television shows have done it and they've been great. Like Monty Python. I think it would be great.

Fred Armisen

I work better when I'm juggling projects. Nothing worse than watching someone really embrace what they're doing if they love it too much.

Fred Armisen

Questlove redefined what a band can be, and Paul Shaffer and Max Weinberg really put their own spin on it. I bow down to these people. All of them.

Fred Armisen

There should be comedians who perform only for robots - I'm saying human comedians that only perform for robots.

Fred Armisen

Bill Hader does a really good impression of me.
