Popeye Quotations

When I was a kid, I loved Popeye, but the old ones, the real old ones.

Most of us came out of Popeye, so turning Popeye into something believable was tricky enough.

I used to say in the cabinet room, 'confidence is not like a can of Popeye spinach - you can't take the top off and swallow it down.' You know, confidence has to be earned.

I was Popeye mad when I was a kid, and I'd eat spinach until the cows came home.

You don't really see sleepwalking in films that often. It's weird; I feel like in popular culture we have the perception of sitcom, arms-in-front-of-your-body sleepwalking, and then maybe Olive Oil and Popeye when she sleepwalks through the construction site. But it's all very cartoonish, in some cases literally.

I realised there were no good role models for kids. Popeye eats spinach, but also smokes and hits people.

It's become normal for me to walk on set as Popeye, Frankenstein or an Elf or even a chicken.
