Drew Carey's quotes

  • [when asked if he enjoys being famous] Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't. I've always been a people watcher. I like to go to malls and just sit, and I can't do that very easily anymore.

  • I honestly think that it automatically hurts me if I said that I supported the war in Iraq and I support the troops. That automatically kills me for getting a bunch of movies, a bunch of television shows. People don't want to hear from me.
  • [2007, on succeeding Bob Barker as host of The New Price Is Right (1972)] This show fits me like an old shoe, I'm telling you, I love doing it, I'm really happy here, I feel like I belong here, audience certainly feels like I belong.
  • You can buy liquor in a drive-thru store, but you can't smoke a joint in your own damn house.
