Danny Mcbride's quotes

  • The dynamics are pretty much the same among me and my friends as they were when I was 18 years old.
  • On a human level, people want to see someone succeed who wants to change.
  • Jody Hill, who I created 'Eastbound And Down' and 'Fist Foot Way' with, was my best man at my wedding.
  • It's a big battle to bring quality stuff into theaters across America, for sure.
  • It hasn't been anything that's been overwhelming or anything, but I do get recognized here and there. Read more at
  • In my school, people liked the gym teachers because they were the football or soccer coaches. But look, if they're cool, they get respect.
  • I've always had the hair of Lionel Ritchie since I was a boy, but the mullet sadly is a hairpiece. My wife won't let me rock that hairstyle.
  • I'll still try to nail acting jobs, but with 'Eastbound,' creating it is what gives me the ultimate pleasure at the end of the day.
  • I usually choose movies that I would want to see. I appreciate drama and if the right script came across my desk, drama you will see.
  • I made movies all the time when I was a kid.
  • I had a classic gym teacher in junior high who wore a weightlifter's belt all the time.
  • I don't tend to watch too many American comedies. I love British comedy.
  • I don't really care about awards.
  • I definitely like taking the dark horse approach and picking people you should not be getting behind, and you figure out a way to get behind them.
  • I can't even remember not wanting to go to film school.
  • Confidence and a good sense of humor can usually win a chick over.
  • But for me, personally, I didn't have any ambitions to become an actor. I'm interested in getting behind the camera.
  • As an actor, you don't want to be typecast, because Hollywood is so quick to put you in things that you've succeeded in before.
  • And I'm a pretty avid photographer, I've been into photography for years now, so I try to spend some of my free time with that.
  • The one thing about being a parent is the ability to be selfless: To give up the things you want and need for the benefit of someone else.
  • My first job was at an amusement park in Virginia. It was the worst. I loved the park but once I'd worked there all the magic was gone from it. It just turned into a place I hated and I've never been there since.
  • It's awesome to see something like 'Inception', which is just mind-blowing and amazing, and it actually resonates with the audiences. I feel like that's rare.
  • If you do a character that resonates enough, people are always going to see you as that character. It will just be up to me to make choices where I can flex other muscles.
  • I always get forwarded these weird pictures of people getting Kenny Powers tattoos. That's probably the craziest thing I've ever seen: Somebody will ink my face on their body for eternity.
  • But obviously you don't want to just be the guy who comes in and sort of spices up every movie. So yeah, definitely moving into more of a leading man role would be great, but on my own terms.
  • And I'm always surprised when people have seen 'The Foot Fist Way', so when people bring that up, I'm always surprised that's reached other people besides my immediate friends.
  • There is no future for me as a closing pitcher.
  • The whole experience of 'Eastbound' has been completely unexpected and super-surprising every step of the way.
  • You know, a lot of those angry sort of Southern man characters that I've been doing are based on different people I might've had as, like, a soccer coach or as a teacher.
  • When I met David Green at film school he always used to offer free haircuts - he was kind of an artisan. In a lot of our films, he's constantly trying to give me weird looks.
  • So I just came out here to Los Angeles with a bunch of buddies I had gone to film school with. You know, for better or worse, we just tried to slug it out here.
