Gary Coleman's quotes

  • [When asked by Howard Stern if he has had oral sex] No! that's not a place for a young woman's face to be.
  • When Diff'rent Strokes (1978) got canceled, I was enormously thrilled and was very much looking forward to starting the rest of my life.
  • I want to escape that legacy of Arnold Jackson. I'm someone more. It would be nice if the world thought of me as something more.
  • I don't hurt or want for visibility, but people seem to forget pretty easily.
  • I parody myself every chance I get. I try to make fun of myself and let people know that I'm a human being, and these things that have happened to me are real. I'm not just some cartoon who exists and suddenly doesn't exist
  • I still have the desire to do the job of acting. It's just a matter of whether I'll be allowed to do the job of acting that remains to be seen. There are only so many brick walls that I'm willing to beat my head on.
  • In 2001 interview: I would not give my first 15 years to my worst enemy, And I don't even have a worst enemy.
  • His first commercial in 1974 for a Chicago bank: You should have a Hubert doll.
  • [When asked why he is volatile with his friends, especially his wife] No! I don't have a volatile relationship with anybody! If we have our discussion and [most of the time] the men lose, if I lose or if she loses... she goes that way, I go that way.
  • [after filing for bankruptcy in August 1999] I can spread that blame all the way around for this. A lot of people are responsible for my insolvency. From me, to my accountants, to my adoptive parents, to my agents, to my lawyers... and back to me again.
  • There's no curse on Diff'rent Strokes (1978). When Conrad Bain robs a bank, or if Mary Jo Catlett dies of an overdose, then there's a curse on Diff'rent Strokes (1978).
