Johnny Knoxville Quotations

I'm lucky enough to be with someone, and I am happy.

You can tell it's good if you light it and a blue flame comes up; that means it's good moonshine and it won't make you go blind.

I actually got stabbed at my friend's bachelor party. In real life.

I pretty much operate on adrenaline and ignorance.

'I know this is going to end bad, but I'm going to pretend it's going to end good.' My life's philosophy.

It's unfortunate when kids get hurt, but I wish parents would monitor what their kids are doing and watching. It's common sense, really.

I'm not looking to lose anything. I'm looking to continue making movies.

Of course I've had a bunch of broken bones, sprains and I've had five or six concussions, with three serious ones. I also got a real heavy duty blood clot and internal bleeding from where I was shot in the stomach with a beanbag bullet that the police use for crowd control. I've also had six stitches in my head.

A couple days before the stunts, if I'm doing something particularly dangerous, I will go over every worst-case scenario in my head, like this could happen, this could happen, this could happen, this could happen. I try to think about that to where it's ingrained in me.

Everyone gets hurt, but I've probably had the most injuries.

Coal mining is tough. Acting is just tedious.

I just love that spirit that makes people do things that they probably shouldn't.

It's a real primal thing, watching someone get hurt. It's funny and accessible.

I'm not out running around all the time. I'm not partying constantly and constantly battling myself. I'm with someone, and we are very, very happy.

I'm so uncoordinated, I can't really do that much, so my specialty is standing in one spot or holding on to something, like an exploding rocket or a jetski.

It's just an unhealthy way to approach something, trying to outdo your last thing. You've gotta trust evolution, you've gotta trust that the bar is moving, that you don't need to force the bar. It'll just happen.

Everything you see on screen is real. By doing what we do, there's naturally going to be a lot of grimacing. And whimpering.

I don't remember the first stunt I ever did.

I was a really bad kid. Then, I got sweet as I got older.

People try to challenge me in bars every now and then. As long as they're not physical I just walk away, but if they get physical then I just end up in a fight.

When I used to go into bars people would try and fight me. Women would punch me 10 years ago or put cigarettes out on my arm or my face. But it doesn't seem to happen any more. They show us a lot of love.

A lot of stand-up comedy guys, when they get a little famous, just give up their stand-up career, and it cancels out the thing that set them apart.

I want to do dramas. I want to do comedies.

We're just trying to make ourselves laugh. We realize critics are going to hate it, but it just makes fans like it more.

She threw up from soup on my shoes,

Oh, yeah, ... I had some shipped down from Tennessee, absolutely. I had a few cases sent down - arrived in Mason jars - handed it out to the cast and crew.

My heart goes out to the kid's family, but we've done everything we can to prevent this type of thing from happening,

I don't feel I really had anything to prove, ... The part was offered to me outright, so I didn't audition for it. But pretty much Southern, ne'er-do-well, you know, father of a beautiful little girl ... Yeah. Yeah. Pretty much me. Yeah.

I think he meant to be there for a few days, but I gave him some moonshine after the first day and didn't see Quentin for a few days,

Yeah, well, I'm not gonna be in theaters for a while. You'll have a whole year without me.

Unfortunately, you know, it's been a while and he, you know, ... Kind of like oatmeal, you know?

Why don't you two hillbillies join us out here,

We were doing side-straddle hops, ... and, you know, deep knee bends.

I should quit, but man we have so much fun.

The worse the reviews, the better for our demographic.

It's just such a good town. I always get sad when I leave, ... I play really sad music all the way out to the airport -- tons of outlaw country and western like Willie, Waylon, Johnny.

It's just such a good town. I always get sad when I leave,

Each night (Scott) would sit at home obsessively pouring over the script while I'm down at the bar knocking drinks back. Our styles complemented each other.

Is this the worst you've ever had to go boom-boom?

After that movie I wasn't very proud of my performance I got an acting coach, ... He's just helped me a lot, so much, and the past five or six films I feel like I'm getting better with every film.

Get high on grass - the legal kind

I think everyone roots for the underdog.

I don't care what other people think.

People go to car races to watch the crashes.

I'm the fun dad, I am also the disciplinarian.

I have a whole slew of doctors. I can count eight in my phone right now - eight different doctors, all for different parts of my body. I have specialists.

I love the tabloids except for when I'm in 'em.

I have a full grown, semi-nude man bound with duct tape in my truck and I was trying to get out to the desert to bury him. How do I get to 5 South?

Being a complete juvenile delinquent helped me grow up a little.

What an honor that Stephen Prouty got nominated for best makeup and hairstyling for 'Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa'. Am I as stunned as everyone else we didn't get the nod for best picture? Well of course, duh, but I won't let that take away from my happiness for Steve, Tony Gardner, and our whole makeup team. Wahoo!

But I can still lick the spoon!

I feel like my eyes have gonorrhea.

If someone hits me I consider it a challenge.

I am nothing that isn't professional.

People think by challenging me they're going to show they're tough. But I'm not tough. Decent drinker. Not such a bad kisser. But not a great fighter.

I do get obsessed with constantly thinking of ideas, all day long, but that's just how it is.

What calmed me down finally was when my girlfriend got pregnant.

You were about five feet short of a ten feet jump?

I think I'm a little concussed.

I just try to think of all the things that could go wrong so in that split second when it happens, maybe your body reacts in a way where it protects you just a little.

I'm just basking in the glory.

Suffering will get you great footage. I don't know about closer to God. Although there have been times when I've suffered to the point where I think I might be about to meet him.

I love Louisiana. It's amazing.

Doctors have told me I have a high pain threshold, but I can only know what I feel. I think I'm good at minimising the pain and being indifferent to it.

My parents said that I was nine months old and would throw myself out of the crib onto the floor continually. As soon as they left the room after putting me back in they'd hear a big bump and I'd be on the floor again.
