The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Eugene Levy
- At the end of the day, even if my part is a bit goofy, the key thing is that I’m doing what I love to do, and that’s to make people laugh.
- I don’t believe I’ve ever played a hip dude. I don’t think I would have the wherewithal to do that.
- I love comedy. Playing the underdog, and getting the laughs is my form of entertainment. I could think of nothing different that I would want to be doing at this time in my life.
- I am the common man. I’m polite, I love my family and I play by the rules. And sometimes I get pushed around. That’s my lifestyle, and that’s what I try to bring to characters.
- One of the biggest misconceptions about me is that I’m a comedian, which I’m not. A comedian is someone who can stand up in front of an audience and make you laugh. I’ve never done stand-up and I never will. I’m a comic actor. My comedy comes through my characters.
- I’m not in a situation where you get a thousand scripts. You want to make a living, you want to put your kids through school. I’d rather do three bad films that pay well than do one good film every three years that doesn’t pay well. … To me, if you can get a steady check in this business, you’re doing okay.
- I don’t consider myself, you know, in real life one of those funny guys. My comedy comes through my work.
- I would love to work with Sir Anthony Hopkins. How and why that would happen in a comedy I’m not sure – why he would be dragged over to my side, or I’d be be dragged over to his side.
- I let the comedy come through the character and just try to make sure that everything is kind of rounded in a truth, in a reality, because that’s what I need to make a character work.
- I can’t do comedy that is cutting and vicious. If I knew I’d said something that was going to make someone feel bad, well, that supersedes everything.
