Ken Marino Quotations

I love horror comedies, and I love horror movies. In particular, I love horror movies from the '80s that have practical monsters in them. They're not just slasher movies with people going to kill people in people's houses. I do like these ridiculous monster movies. They're scary, but they're absurd. I had a lot of fun in my 20's, watching a lot of these movies late at night.

I'm not going to deny that I enjoy a good four or five hour karaoke session. But who doesn't?

One of the things I would love to do is 'Axe Cop,' which is a comic book. I would like to be involved in 'Axe Cop' someday. I would also love to be in a Western.

I don't want to judge America. I love America. God bless America. There are so many wonderful things about America. The fork! But we are a little behind on the bidet situation. I'm willing to say that. Hopefully we'll get our act together.

Hey, don't knock Judy Blume. Without her, my younger self would never have been able to decode the random acts of madness perpetrated by the fascinating creature known as the teenage girl.

I just - I like the saccharin and the gooeyness of 'Bachelor,' and how just gross and like falsely romantic it is. Whereas, like, the 'Real Housewives' is just raw, and it's just - it's the fights that get me. It's just very uncomfortable for me.

It wasn't that much of a stretch to play a gay demon. I am, you know, both gay and a demon. Don't tell my wife.

To go from working with a group of people in a sketch-comedy show on a small network, where it was all about just creating funny stuff, to being on a network show, and the pressures of that, and getting to know the new people who were involved in it. There was a learning curve for me. But it was an education.

I hope to direct a feature very soon. That is a big goal for me. I'm looking forward to hopefully getting that opportunity.

I love that there are so many 'Veronica Mars' fans. I was not a regular on the show. I was lucky enough to just come on. I loved the character. But, I never really realized the rabid fans that it had. I just didn't know.

Every bathroom in my house will ultimately have a Toto bidet in it.

I like Comic-Con. It's always nice to talk to people who are fans of 'Children's Hospital.'

I like shows where, like, there's a team that they're against the world.

I watch a lot of ESPN. I just kind of keep it on for long periods of time and watch guys yell at each other about sports things.

The key to acting is less acting and just reacting.

The stuff I write with Joe Lo Truglio tends to lean towards horror-comedy and horror.

I guess there are people who are like, 'Here's one thing, and I'm gonna do it,' but I can't. I don't have the capacity to have that singular focus. I need to try to get a lot of things going 'cause you never know what's gonna hit.

It's absolutely surprising to me how well 'The State' has held up as far as people liking it and having fond memories of it, considering it's a sketch show.

'Party Down' was one of the most magical, special experiences of my professional career. Also special in my personal life, too. I made really good friends, and I had just a great time, and it was a great part.

I'm a huge 'Eastbound & Down' fan. I'm an enormous Danny McBride fan.

I need to try to get a lot of things going 'cause you never know what's gonna hit.

You have to tap into the child in you. If you can get to that innocent place, then you're golden. That was the subconscious goal for me.

I don't know who's running IMDB. It could be computers. I'd like to talk to someone from IMDB.

I don't understand how IMDB works. I don't know who logs in the information. I've checked it a couple times and saw (something he was supposed to be listed in) that I wasn't in there, and thought, "Well, I'm not gonna put it in there".

I loved horror movies, and I loved movies like that - stuff with an anarchy to them, with chaos. Stuff that glorified violence and whatnot. It's not as entertaining now. It effects me now in a way that it didn't then.

Since I've had children I don't really like horror movies.

The beauty of shooting on something that's not in front of an audience is that you can just cut out the times you're laughing. You can cut to the other person and try to use that moment, right before you break. There's an energy to those performances. There's a reason people were laughing. There was something very special. That little extra something was in that line delivery or in that improv, so you try to use that stuff.

The best way to do comedy is to not filter yourself, and then you could always fix it later. You want to be able to push the envelope.

One of the things I would love to do is Axe Cop, which is a comic book. I would like to be involved in Axe Cop someday. I would also love to be in a Western.
