"I don't want to see a 'Sopranos' movie. This is just me. I like to think the end is where it was on TV as opposed to becoming a movie."
Quote by -Denis Leary
"Most of the women placed in the fire department here in New York never passed the physical test. And a fat guy or a short guy, or anybody not passing the test in a life-or-death job, leads to friction."
Quote by -Denis Leary

Quote by -Denis Leary

Quote by -Denis Leary

Quote by -Denis Leary
"I've been nominated for Emmys and Golden Globes, but I've never won one and I probably never will."
Quote by -Denis Leary
"What firefighters and people in our military and cops do is separate from what the rest of us do; basically these people say, 'I'm going to protect all these strangers.'"
Quote by -Denis Leary
"If you do good work, it tends to stick around. People still come up to me and say, 'The Ref' is my favorite Christmas movie.'"
Quote by -Denis Leary
"The thing with movies is, because you have so little time, I always feel like there are more things we could've done with the character. If we'd done a sequel to 'The Thomas Crown Affair,' what would that have been like? But for the most part, you try not to think of that, because it's just going to break your heart."
Quote by -Denis Leary
"One of those things that I like about TV is that if you get a group of people you like, you can work with these people for months at a time, and you can discover their strengths and weaknesses, and you can use those in the direction where you take the characters."
Quote by -Denis Leary
"I did 12 years with nuns, you know. So I came out of it going, like, 'I think Jesus is all right.' The rest of it I think stinks to the high heavens."
Quote by -Denis Leary
"Everyone's got skeletons in their closet, and I've got a million in mine, believe me. I tested the envelope; I pushed it. Whenever somebody in authority told me not to do something, I did it just to find out wh"I did 12 years with nuns, you know. So I came out of it going, like, 'I think Jesus is all right.' The rest of it I think stinks to the high heavens."y they said not to do it."
Quote by -Denis Leary
"The best comedy audiences in the country and this is tried and true, I'm not just saying it, in my opinion are Boston, Atlanta, and Chicago."
Quote by -Denis Leary
"The biggest battle for a lot of people who come out of the theater, which is where I was trained, is that they can never forget that a camera is pointed at them."
Quote by -Denis Leary
"The only difference between kids and jungle animals is pants. Kids wear them. Jungle animals don't."
Quote by -Denis Leary
"No woman can be completely happy at any one moment in time. They're always anticipating the next thing to argue or complain about."
Quote by -Denis Leary
"Most movies suck, even the independent ones. Hollywood is like baseball: Hit three good ones out of 10 and you're a Hall of Famer."
Quote by -Denis Leary
"The things that make me angry still make me angry. George Carlin is 67, and he's still as funny as he's ever been, and he's still angry. And that makes me feel good, because I feel like if I stick around long enough, I'll still be able to work."
Quote by -Denis Leary
"I think we should take Iraq and Iran and combine them into one country and call it Irate. All the pissed off people live in one place and get it over with."
Quote by -Denis Leary
"We live in a country where John Lennon takes eight bullets, Yoko Ono is walking right beside him and not one hits her. Explain that to me!"
Quote by -Denis Leary
"Loud, stupid and overeating will suffice as long as we also have the funny, the fierce and the intellectual"
Quote by -Denis Leary
"I'm born and raised in the Northeast. My parents are Irish immigrants. So our tendency is to shy away from the big yellow ball that comes up in the sky every once in a while."
Quote by -Denis Leary
"Every job has parts of it that are a giant pain in the ass - whether you carry a penis or a purse."
Quote by -Denis Leary
"My nieces and my nephews think the only thing that I do is 'Ice Age.' That's fine with me because pretty soon they'll grow up enough to realize that I suck or that my time has passed, whichever it might be."
Quote by -Denis Leary
"For us as writers, it's really important to have songs we believe in - even before sometimes we shoot a scene. If we have a song that's so perfectly designed for a scene on 'Rescue Me,' we'll play it on loud speakers during the shooting. It helps the cameraman and it helps the director, and it helps the actors know what the feel is."
Quote by -Denis Leary
"I eat meat because meat tastes like murder, and murder tastes pretty dam good!"
Quote by -Denis Leary
"Sometimes 'great acting' is just showing off - chewing up scenery and dialogue and other actors - the equivalent of a theatrical sugar rush."
Quote by -Denis Leary
"First of all, I have to have trucks because I live most of my time on a horse farm, so I've gotta have trucks. It's in the northeast; I've got to have pickup trucks to move snow, number one. Number two, just if I'm driving, I don't have to have an SUV, but I want a big car."
Quote by -Denis Leary
"My dad was very much a John Wayne kind of guy, but he was also a great guy, great sense of humor, a real dedicated dad. I don't think he ever missed a hockey game I was in."
Quote by -Denis Leary
"It would be great if firefighters across the country had the guarantee that they would be making enough money to support their family right from the get-go, but that's not the case."
Quote by -Denis Leary
"I wanted to be a hockey player. Where I grew up, the basketball courts were rarely used. I was terrible in school and actually said, 'I'm going to be a hockey player.'"
Quote by -Denis Leary
"I basically - I don't like tattoos, unless you're a firefighter who has a tattoo that has to do with that or a military guy. That's - those are people who should have tattoos."
Quote by -Denis Leary
"My career plan at this point is 'Ice Age 5' through '10,' and even '12,' and 'Spider Man' - you know, basically I'd be Emma Stone's dad for the rest of my career. I really don't have any problem doing that."
Quote by -Denis Leary
"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.'"
Quote by -Denis Leary
"Having dealt with a lot of real firefighters, I know there are a lot of guys who, for lack of a better term, become addicted to the grief because it has kept them connected to these guys that they felt responsible for having lost."
Quote by -Denis Leary
"Here's the problem with Easter. The Catholic Church needs to pick a date because it keeps moving. And I think the "reason "they always have Easter moving to different dates is to catch us."
