Thomas Middleditch Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Thomas Middleditch:

I'm kind of a sports guy.

I just love action movies. People are like, 'What comedy movies did you grow up watching?' And I'm like, 'Not many.'

Thomas Middleditch

Over the years, I've had a slight ebbing and flowing of confidence in my non-comedic role abilities.

Thomas Middleditch

People go on Snapchat - I don't understand it. It's the first app I felt, 'Oh no, I'm out of touch with burgeoning technology. I'm not 16!'

Thomas Middleditch

In any awards ceremony, if you're a finicky person like myself, you can pick a multitude of things to nag about. I get frustrated with the comedy category because it feels like it gets sidelined a lot of the time for all kinds of things - not sidelined, marginalized.

Thomas Middleditch

A lot of comedies, I think, make the wrong choice of having the straight man being this bland emotional conduit for the audience.

Thomas Middleditch

I don't think anyone can do any character that doesn't have at least some ounce of themselves in it. You are who you are, and your brain is drawing on things that you've experienced.

Thomas Middleditch

I just grew up liking computers and stuff like that. Mainly cool stuff, like video games.

Thomas Middleditch

All of my guy friends are pretty civil and tame.

Thomas Middleditch

I am an unabashed HBO fan. This is why being on 'Silicon Valley' is kind of like a dream.

Thomas Middleditch

The show is not really about finding love in Silicon Valley, and it never really claimed be so.

Thomas Middleditch

As a kid, I drew comics. I had curly hair. I liked to joke, but I was kind of nervous about it at first until it was coaxed out of me.

Thomas Middleditch

I watched Season 1 through 9 of 'Seinfeld' bloopers one day, just having a ball. It's fun to see people having fun.

Thomas Middleditch

I had this website that, at one point, I listed myself as 'actor, writer, comedian, and fart enthusiast' just because I thought that would be a really clear joke.

Thomas Middleditch

Married life is the same as dating life, except now you have a ring, and the state of California has a vested financial interest in the outcome of your marriage.

Thomas Middleditch

I wasn't necessarily always funny, I don't know if I necessarily am - some would argue not - but I was definitely, always been a strange one. Definitely always an odd duck.

Thomas Middleditch

I'm a military history buff.

Thomas Middleditch

I'm definitely not frowning on improv; I mean, I've been doing it for years. I just think that there's some styles of comedy that warrant a tighter pace.

Thomas Middleditch

T.J. Miller and Kumail Nanjiani I met when I was in Chicago, learning how to do comedy.

Thomas Middleditch

Even if things are going well, I'm always thinking that I'm about to be hit with the dreaded gut punch and - psych! - I'll find out that it's all falling apart.

Thomas Middleditch

I've had the fortune of meeting most of the 'Kids in the Hall.' One meeting was special in particular because this was before I had gotten anything, before anything was clicking, and I just found myself hanging out with Scott Thompson.

Thomas Middleditch

Everything needs to be lampooned. I believe that there's not any sacred ground.

Thomas Middleditch

All the sharky elements of Hollywood are similar to sharky elements in Silicon Valley. It's obviously different, but the deals are the same. And you get hot, then you're not.

Thomas Middleditch

I don't program, so I don't belong in Silicon Valley. If I did belong in Silicon Valley, I'd be there creating a revolutionary compression algorithm for billions of dollars.

Thomas Middleditch

I was always the bad student.

Thomas Middleditch

I wish I was more industrious, but I don't necessarily have that drive.

Thomas Middleditch

I've spoken to people in Silicon Valley, and many times they have said to me, 'X storyline, or that thing that happened in your show - pretty much verbatim has happened to me.' And it's either identical or similar enough to be scary.

Thomas Middleditch

It's like PlayStation-Xbox. I like both. So nothing against Mac, but I do use Windows.

Thomas Middleditch

I'm undeniably very nerdy, but I'm trying to recognize and pursue more masculine pursuits.

Thomas Middleditch

I laugh at stuff like Snapchat thinking it can change the world.

Thomas Middleditch

It's pretty surreal to be doing a show on HBO with pals.

Thomas Middleditch

I don't typically pay attention to most things in life, let alone award season. Not because I think it's silly. I just don't typically get caught up in it.

Thomas Middleditch

Both the benefit and the terrifying aspect of standup is when it's going poorly, you've only yourself to blame. There's no one to bail you out. But when it's going great, all that approval is for you.

Thomas Middleditch

When you're an actor who just got his first big chunk of change, and you're like, 'What do I do with it?' you try to look at Silicon Valley, and the learning curve is so huge. Especially on the investor side. I don't want to say it's like Vegas, in a sense, but you do kinda roll the dice on some companies. It's like educated dice rolling.

Thomas Middleditch

'Baskets' is incredible - 'Baskets' is so funny and poignant and sad and dark.

Thomas Middleditch

I met Mike Judge when I was working on my own cartoon for MTV; it did not air. But I got on with Mike and then did a few voices on 'Beavis and Butt-Head' because of it.

Thomas Middleditch

I had to be sick for a scene in the first season, and we used some fruit smoothies with little banana chunks. I had to put it in my mouth and spit it out. It was absolutely delicious.
