Dave Foley Quotations

NBC is working with a team of astrophysicists to create a new day of the week.

Stand-up comedy and poverty. Those were my two main endeavors.

The important thing to remember is that bugs don't actually talk.

Canadians still spend so much time discussing what it means to be Canadian.

There's something about strip malls that just reeks of my childhood.

When I was in school, all our history books were American, so we learned American history, not Canadian history.

I think the Internet's been a tremendous tool in terms of breaking down the power structure of information and entertainment, particularly at a time when so much information and entertainment were in the hands of so few people, with multinationals owning everything.

David Steinberg was the reason the Smothers Brothers got cancelled.

'High Stakes' was a very bad movie that I was cast in as a lead.

I mean, 'Kids In The Hall' is the reason I have any career at all.

I still do miss the freedom to play any kind of character I wanted to play.

In a lot of ways, it was a huge relief, not being a member of a troupe, being able to make your own decisions and kind of live your own life.

Really, it's only been since the '70s that Canadians have had any pride in their country.

The thing that really surprised me about strip malls in California, specifically Los Angeles, is that they have some really fantastic restaurants.

If somebody came up with a really good idea, everyone would back it. Especially when we did the show, we had a real dedication that, if you were in somebody else's scene, everyone worked their hardest to make that scene good.

I grew up in the suburbs of Toronto, where everything was in a strip mall.

And I met Paul Simms while I was making 'It's Pat', and he later wound up casting me in 'NewsRadio'.

Dick Van Dyke spent most of his time setting everybody else up.

I think we carry around the idea of being a Kid in the Hall as part of our identity. It's a big part of how we see ourselves now.

I met Kevin when I was 19, at a Second City workshop. We were paired up together in the first class I went to. By the end of the class we formed our improv group, and over the next three years we performed leading up to the formation of The Kids in the Hall.

The potential is enormous but it's up to us to really develop that leisure-oriented market.

I'm the guy with the good attitude towards menstruation.

It takes so long to put a movie into production and finish it that anyone with a bad idea has time to give it to you before the movie is completed.

Well, I've lost my wife. I've lost my job. I've lost 20 MINUTES OF MY LIFE! Damn the decaf.

I never watched 'Harper's Island.'

If you live in Ohio and you don't wear scarlet and gray now, you're an oddball. And it used to be that you could go around town even in Columbus and see a bunch of people in Michigan shirts ... And that's horrible, isn't it?.

I like the sitcom, as a structure.

Isn't the essential pillar of Catholicism papal infallibility? Well, then how can the church ever change its mind about anything unless God gets confused one day? Not all religions claim the direct authority of God speaking to their leader. You know, I'm an atheist, but I'm a Puritan atheist.

Maybe we will, and we'll take the entire comedy industry with us.

I got on my bike in 12th and that's my make-up time, ... The bike today was a personal-record for me and I am really happy about that.

There aren't many opportunities for celebs to do promotion that doesn't involve anecdotes about a crazy vacation.

There aren't many opportunities for celebrities to do promotion that doesn't involve five-minute anecdotes about a crazy vacation. You really see them being themselves.

It even looks a little like me, ... He's got my eyes, my great big bulbous eyes, and he has my stammer, (and) that affects your facial features when you stammer.

The association concerts provide quality, live entertainment that people can afford,

We put a lot of work into three minutes.

A lot of people come here, and when they open the (front) door the dog starts running and tail-wagging.

It's less lonely. Sketch comedy is much more fun than stand-up. You can still have a good time when you're bombing in sketch comedy because at least you're bombing with other people.

It was more of a problem in the earlier shows. Gradually, they realized it was not original or amusing.

The Fairmont Concert Association is an exceptionally well-organized organization. They know exactly what they're doing and they do it well.

I'm sort of jaded at this point. But when we did 'Dead Diva' in L.A. recently, it was the first time in years I remember feeling a certain kind of nervous excitement.

A million dollars! Why, that's catering on your show for a week!
