Jon Cryer Quotations

Nobody in show business can possibly get away with making fun of their boss.

I would always have been the geek who's your friend. I will never be the dark guy with a sensitive side, as much as I yearn to be.

I grew up loving TV so much. It was such an integral part of my youth, and I was completely an Emmy geek.

I feel like I could dominate the origami field. I think I have enormous potential in that area.

I can't imagine Jon Cryer performing with the New York Philharmonic isn't one of the signs of apocalypse.

His name is Blane? That's a major appliance, that's not a name!

On the stage you develop a character that's different from yourself. In a film they're always saying, 'Walk over here. Say this line. Be you.'

Mostly, I have to say as an actor, to find a character that's been rich enough for 10 seasons of shows... that's very rare.

We're doing the show that we want to do, ... and people really seem to dig it.

To avoid ignorance and bullying, I've had to hide the fact that I'm a troll. You have no idea how much time and money I've spent on electrolysis and hair dye and reconstructive surgery so I can look like this.

Every time one person gets a piece of information, the likelihood of that information being exposed grows exponentially. It's no longer two people. It's two people squared.

You can't do television shows caring whether or not the network picks you up. You can only do them enjoying the work, because if you're always on pins and needles about whether you'll be picked up, you'll lose your mind. I learned that the hard way.

Critics can say horrible things. It only hurts when I agree with them.

I've always done whatever I felt like, even if it was really inadvisable.

I try to save being angry for the really important moments - for special occasions.

If you can find it in you to love how stupid the entertainment industry is, you can have a great career.

I just show up and try to find the joy in every situation.

Sarcasm is lost in print.

Actors always have things that they're not thrilled about on a show and have a hobby of bellyaching about those things.

There's not a lot of tolerance for people like me... To avoid ignorance and bullying, I've had to hide the fact that I'm a troll. You have no idea how much time and money I've spent on electrolysis and hair dye and reconstructive surgery so I can look like this.
