Zitat des Tages von Ray Romano:
If I'm really considering doing film from now on then that is the smart thing to do, or you can go either way. You can just do the same character over and over again and make a different comedy like over and over again.
My wife gets all the money I make. I just get an apple and clean clothes every morning.
I have this mistress: show business.
You don't want to shock them and do something totally opposite, but you also want to play a different character.
The comics that are just conversing with you up there and drawing on their own life, yeah, I guess so. I guess some do political humor, some do topical humor, but the ones that I like, the ones that are appealing to me, were guys who were just talking to you about their life.
I'm a 14 handicap. Anyone who golfs knows what that means. I shoot 90 to a hundred or, once in a while, 85.
I didn't want to have to follow 'Everybody Loves Raymond' with another sitcom. Let it be my sitcom legacy, and leave it at that.
I have the show because I'm insecure. It's my insecurity that makes me want to be a comic, that makes me need the audience.
Whenever I walk off the golf course, I thank God that I'm able to tell a joke. I thank God I'm good at something.
Everyone should have kids. They are the greatest joy in the world. But they are also terrorists. You'll realize this as soon as they're born, and they start using sleep deprivation to break you.
If my father had hugged me even once, I'd be an accountant right now.
I feel like this is a dream - and I apologize for how I dressed some of you.
I go to Hooters for lunch every day. Then for coffee.
I like a good cry - it's cathartic; it's a release. But I've never been able to be so free to do that on camera the way some actors can.
I live in L.A. Now.
People are going to see both of us and think it's an Abbott and Costello kind of thing. It's not an easy switch. It's not an easy transition from TV to film.
The best comedy, I feel, comes in a drama because it balances each other out.
I never want to give up stand-up. Because I still get a thrill out of it.
I love standup and I haven't given it up.
My joke used to be about my father and Peter Boyle: that anything you see Peter Boyle do on TV, my father has done in real life without pants on.
If I had never gotten famous or rich, I think I'd be equally neurotic.
I think that as actors age, the work becomes more organic to them.
I would get my student loans, get money, register and never really go. It was a system I thought would somehow pan out.
When you're in the living room every week for nine years as one character, it's hard for some people to see you as someone else.
I still do standup.
I don't want to say work is who I am, but some people feel more centered and more whole when they're producing and creating.
I want to do well and I want to fit in.
Every backstory involves my father. I remember hearing Gary Oldman talking about backstories and saying, 'I got to stop using my father...' And I feel the same way. I don't know. What I come up with always involves some element of this son trying to prove himself to his father.
Each day it's like: 'How many more days am I going to feel young and vibrant? I feel young and vibrant now, but I also feel the aches and pains a little bit.
I'm at an age where crying is easier for me now. I like it. I can cry at a poignant commercial; I can cry at a - this is a running joke in my house, but... a good 'Star-Spangled Banner' can make me cry. I'm not kidding.
I don't get sick.
The successful golfers - they're like astronauts or pilots. They have that demeanor that they can focus and stay within that one moment and nothing distracts them. That's not me.
If golf wasn't enjoyable and there wasn't a lot of humor and enjoyment, even though the game is so frustrating, you would wonder why you put yourself through it.
I'm from New York.
My career has been my craziest adventure.
I do still get intimidated by certain things.
