Neil Flynn’s 5 most popular quotes
- I probably remember more about ‘The Dick Van Dyke Show’ than Dick Van Dyke does.
- On ‘Scrubs,’ I played a very unusual character who pretty much was defined by saying and doing strange things, so it was easy to improvise around that.
- I wouldn’t say I’m a fan of Tarantino, per se, but I like several of his movies very much, probably ‘Reservoir Dogs’ the most of them.
- I saw ‘Animal House’ in the theater the night before I left for college. And for better or worse, it made an impression. Within a week, I was in a fraternity myself.
- I have nothing to do with Facebook or the Internet – I don’t know how to use half of it; I think I’m better off.
