Danny DeVito Quotes

  • I never missed Homeland (2011) when it was on. Or Deadwood (2004). I watch Jon Stewart a lot, too – I’m a big leftie. And a lot of news.
  • I enjoy watching Piers Morgan over here. He also took to task a couple of people who needed it during the gun-control debate. Piers is OK by me.
  • Rhea loves Downton Abbey (2010). The costumes are great, let’s put it that way.
  • I’ll watch Ricky Gervais in anything he does. The guy’s hilarious.
  • I used to love Benny Hill because he’s nuts. And Monty Python [Monty Python’s Flying Circus (1969)].
  • Jersey is always with me. I was one of the lucky ones. Asbury Park is just the greatest place in the world to spend your childhood.
  • It’s fun to be on the edge. I think you do your best work when you take chances, when you’re not safe, when you’re not in the middle of the road, at least for me, anyway.
