John Ratzenberger’s 5 most popular quotes
- Find people who share your values, and you’ll conquer the world together.
- What I’ve learned from the Pixar guys is, ‘If you work for the love of what you’re doing, it’s always going to come out right.’ If you’re working for a paycheck, then it’s not going to work in the long run; it’s not going to feed your heart and soul.
- I look at the calendar. If it’s a nice place, I go, like I did in London when it came to choosing to do a film. I always choose the best locations. New Orleans. That’s fun. I’m available. Let’s go.
- The last thing on my mind was to be an actor, but I had a crush on a cute girl in the drama department, so the best thing for me to do was audition, help out, do carpentry, whatever it took to get me on that project.
- So many actors have sheer guts, will, and determination; they just need some preparation.
