Danny Devito's quotes

  • It's fun to be on the edge. I think you do your best work when you take chances, when you're not safe, when you're not in the middle of the road, at least for me, anyway.
  • Jersey is always with me. I was one of the lucky ones. Asbury Park is just the greatest place in the world to spend your childhood.
  • I used to love Benny Hill because he's nuts. And Monty Python [Monty Python's Flying Circus (1969)].
  • I'll watch Ricky Gervais in anything he does. The guy's hilarious.
  • Rhea loves Downton Abbey (2010). The costumes are great, let's put it that way.
  • I enjoy watching Piers Morgan over here. He also took to task a couple of people who needed it during the gun-control debate. Piers is OK by me.
  • I never missed Homeland (2011) when it was on. Or Deadwood (2004). I watch Jon Stewart a lot, too - I'm a big leftie. And a lot of news.
  • I think Taxi (1978) is one of the seminal, great shows that was ever made on television. I mean, the story and those characters, that's what makes a great show -- it's the characters. And I always fell in love with the characters.
  • When I'm directing or producing, I like to do different kinds of stories. But you have to know what you really like and when you do, you have to front your position.
  • Acting is like any other business if you've got it in your heart that you want to write stories, or paint paintings, or build bridges, if you want to do anything. Once you've been bitten by that bug, it's your passion and you have to follow it.
  • People would say to me, "Why don't you do Broadway?" and my big joke was, "Nah, the dressing rooms are too small".
