QUOTES BY Tim Allen


Being wealthy when no one else is, is like being the only one at the party with a drink.

My dad's death reminds me of earthquakes - things that shake your foundation.

I wonder if to stare into the face of God will drive me crazy. (I wonder who would blink first.)

I used to live an isolated existence, even in relationships, but now my family knows me for who I really am. Mostly, that's a good thing.

Pere Noel. Babbo Natale. Pelznickel. Topo Gigio

I had a very easy time loving an audience. But when it's one-on-one with somebody, all I wanted to do was run away, because maybe they're going to want something from me I can't give, or they're going to hurt me.

I am a thespian trapped in a man's body.

A car crossed two lanes of traffic, flipped, and landed on my dad's car. I don't blame cars. My dad loved cars. I don't have many memories of my dad. The love of cars is all I have of him, really.

I know it sounds odd, but I want to make a Rolex-quality screwdriver.
