Quote by -Chevy Chase
Damn, I had some great moves. I still have them; I'm just not using them at home a lot.
Quote by -Chevy Chase
It wasn't as if I was simply some guy who had never seen the other side of the tracks.
Quote by -Chevy Chase
If what you do in life is perform to open up eyes and minds, to make people laugh, then it better damn well be new! It shouldn't be just a repetitious 'Hey, I'm still here!'
Quote by -Chevy Chase
I come from a much freer kind of performance thing, where I rely on my own improv and my own sense of humor.
Quote by -Chevy Chase
There was a whole slew of 'Cops and Robbersons,' just films that didn't measure up, that didn't stand for anything comedically. They were purely for a paycheck.
Quote by -Chevy Chase
It's not like I am working with the great innovators of all time, but at the same time, they are my friends.
Quote by -Chevy Chase
I've been too funny in my life to have to play a character who's... moderately funny.
Quote by -Chevy Chase
It will eventually be discovered that the more you sleep, the healthier you are. Which means you'll really be at your healthiest when you pass away.
Quote by -Chevy Chase
Who made me laugh when I was growing was Chaplin and the Marx Brothers, and then moving on, there were so many that I was a writer for for many years: I was a writer for the Smothers Brothers, Lily Tomlin, then I started on 'Saturday Night Live' as the head writer the first year we started it.
Quote by -Chevy Chase
I prefer movies because the money is better and certainly because you really know where you stand when you are making movies, and I have made a lot of them: 50-something - I don't know.
Quote by -Chevy Chase
Anything I have blown a lot of money on? Well, I have three daughters and a wife - that's four women, and I'm working on a sitcom, so you could say that I am just trying to stay alive!
Quote by -Chevy Chase
Chaplin was my idol. I remember watching those movies at this little theater in Woodstock, N.Y., when I was probably 6 and laughing so hard at the surprises, like Keaton suddenly being dragged by a streetcar.
Quote by -Chevy Chase
It's about timing and rhythm. But who could be better than Chaplin or Keaton?
Quote by -Chevy Chase
It's incredible. Twenty-three minutes on the air, and I've got to shoot for twelve, fifteen hours a day. What the hell's that?
Quote by -Chevy Chase
Ideally, I'd like to go right back to getting $7 million a picture and being the headliner. That's probably not going to happen.
Quote by -Chevy Chase
I've usually had two styles: the Fletch character and the Clark Griswold character.
Quote by -Chevy Chase
Be Funny. Be naturally funny. If you're not, get out of the business. Be compassionate.
Quote by -Chevy Chase
Parodies came about because Mr. Ford was actually one of the better athletes of our presidents... but he continually had physical accidents... he was an easy target for me. The main idea was to get people laughing.
Quote by -Chevy Chase
I did comedy and parody television in the '70s. I was a liberal Democrat, and it was a very heady year.
Quote by -Chevy Chase
It seemed that my brother and I were always fighting in the back seat, and there was never any real reason for it.
Quote by -Chevy Chase
The idea of trying to write sketches the same way we did on Saturday Night Live every day would be damn near impossible.
Quote by -Chevy Chase
To me, talk shows are those things during the middle of the afternoon where the underbelly of society is made to look like Middle America.
Quote by -Chevy Chase
I think I need to be taken away, dropped in some territory with just a lot of loud guys.
Quote by -Chevy Chase
Anybody can reach anywhere from five to 15 million people weekly making a president look like an idiot, as I did back then, or Tina Fey did with Sarah Palin... You're always preaching to the choir one way or the other.
Quote by -Chevy Chase
I really love making movies. I just have this yearning in my stomach to go back and somehow subversively screw up television a little bit again.
Quote by -Chevy Chase
Nobody prepares you for what happens when you get famous, and I didn't handle it well.
Quote by -Chevy Chase
I would love to do a movie with Albert Brooks; we're so different, but I find him so funny, and I can be just as seemingly narcissistic as he comes off, the 'it's all about me' kind of thing.
