Dana Carvey Quotes

Am I not turtley enough for the Turtle Club? Turtle! Turtle! Picture Quote #1

I have no regrets. I wanted to raise the kids and be a present father. When I developed a movie, I was gone for a year. That didn’t really work for me. That isn’t fair to make these life-forms and then disappear Picture Quote #1

We didn’t even think about it, you know? I used to collect laser discs, and you’d have some college professor analyzing It’s a Wonderful Life or Citizen Kane, and now it is pretty funny - the idea of commentary for a silly kid’s movie, you know? Picture Quote #1

I used to sneak up to the 8th floor and watch Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo rehearsing ‘Saturday Night Live’ and could only wonder if I would ever have the chance to be funny. It took me five years to go up the two stories, but it is such a sense of fulfillment to be able to show what I can do on national television Picture Quote #1

The two things that can hurt you are if you need money or if you need fame. Those are the things that can be your Achilles’ heel. But if you don’t need money and you don’t need fame, then you’re free Picture Quote #1

After years of begging, I got my parents to get me a little Craig tape recorder, a reel to reel. Then I started recording voices, or recording Jonathan Winters off television and stuff like that Picture Quote #1

I got lucky. I won the San Francisco Stand-Up Comedy Competition in 1977 while I was still at San Francisco State Picture Quote #1

I had auditioned for ‘Saturday Night Live’ two or three times before and never really saw myself there. I looked up to Belushi and Bill Murray and Aykroyd and I never saw myself as in their world Picture Quote #1

Well, I loved variety in television, I loved sketch comedy. At ‘Saturday Night Live,’ I stayed almost seven years Picture Quote #1

I did a lot of ridiculous television. Between 1980 and 85 I had no confidence, so I did everything I was told to do Picture Quote #1

I think ABC sort of hoped I would be really like Carol Burnett. I mean literally, I think Picture Quote #1

I’ve never really worked on them. Just once in a while one hits me and makes me laugh. My Al Gore was sort of like a gay Gomer Pyle Picture Quote #1

It’s almost like he’s started to sound even more exotic the more people started doing him. I don’t know why, but there’s just something about Al Gore that makes me laugh Picture Quote #1

I couldn’t do any of my other characters, you know? But I could have done the lady. Church Lady’s Malibu Beach party is an idea I have for a movie, too. Yes Picture Quote #1

I have this dream life where I get to be a celebrity but I get to navigate the world fairly easily because I’m always in character Picture Quote #1

When people come to see my stand-up, they get a chance to see my characters interact with each other. I enjoy pushing my characters to the limit. No matter how far out there I go, I look for things that make the characters human Picture Quote #1

I think free speech is probably the coolest thing we have in this country, and again, you can label it hate speech and dismiss it, and then you’re allowed to censor it Picture Quote #1

I recently found out about this other super movie star. He only works from about 11:00 to 4:00, so all his movies take like 120 days. But this was a lot of stuff to do in 35 days Picture Quote #1

I had written in another draft a completely different kind of fight, but they said they couldn’t afford to shoot it. They needed a fight scene, though, so I was told to put a fight scene in, but not the one I had written Picture Quote #1

I have a theory that if you’re famous more years than you’re not famous, then you get a little nutty Picture Quote #1
