Top 10 most inspiring quotes by Frank Oz
- I just want to do good work. That’s all I want to do. I don’t have big aspirations like being the President of the United States, I just want to do good work. That’s all.
- I love Britain, I lived there for nine years doing shows and things, but I don’t know what a British sensibility is. I’d like to have someone tell me what an American sensibility is.
- First impression is unfair, because a first impression of somebody is guarded, and you don’t know the person.
- I’ve done TV for tons and tons of years, so I’m not crazy about doing more TV, but with films, all I want to do are different projects that aren’t all the same.
- I’ve always wanted to do non-comedies, I’ve always done dramas, comedies, music, and I always like to bop around and do different things.
- I want to get into the theater. I really wanted to be a theater director, but I turned out to be a movie director.
- I just want to work with talented people who are enjoyable to be with, and take big huge risks from high comedy to deep, dark, brooding drama, to thriller. I just want to go back and forth.
- Our job as directors is to entertain an audience, it’s not just to do it for the director. You might as well sit in a white room and look at the movie for the rest of your life – it’s ridiculous.
- I was a weird kid. I should’ve been gay because I listened to a lot of Broadway musicals. I don’t know why I’m not gay.
- What I remember most about the ‘Road’ movies is my enjoyment at watching the two characters sparring with each other. But more important than that was my feeling that Hope and Crosby were enjoying the sparring, too.
