Denis Leary Guy Quotations

I went to school with Steven Wright, who was the shyest guy I knew, and one day someone suddenly told me that he was in a club doing standup comedy. I went down to his club and he was great. Another friend of mine, who was pretty much a thief by trade, was hosting the show. So I thought, 'If these guys can do it, then so can I.'

I'm not really a Spider-Man fan. I'm more of a Batman guy.

I don't want a president like me! I suck, okay. I want an elitist, smart guy.

I'm pretty much a chocolate guy. I'm up for any type of chocolate. Any chocolate.

Jon Stewart is exactly the same guy he's always been, only with money. He knows that the moment he really believes he's important, the funny goes away and he becomes Bill O'Reilly, except shorter and Jewish.

I'm a pretty boring guy. Compared to Ashton Kutcher, I live a really boring existence.

I don't really have a lot of fun playing just straight good guys. It's not my thing. It's like Tom Hanks territory.

In addition to my cousin, there were 30 or 40 guys I grew up with who became firefighters as well. So, I've been around firefighters all my life.

There are some guys I know for a fact, like Louis C.K., who always talk about how not-great of an actor he is, and he's terrific on his show. But I know Louis would play a fantastic dramatic role in something, too. He just needs somebody to grab him and say, 'Come in here and do this.'

He [ Campbell Scott ] is also a really funny guy which not a lot of people know.

Crazy? ... Maybe. But that's a good kind of crazy. It's a guy who knows what he wants.
