Denis Quotes


The comics I hate are thieves. Nothing`s more disgusting than a guy who steals another person`s ideas and tries to claim them as his own. Stand-up comedy is supposed to be "Here`s the world through my eyes." It`s supposed to be your observations, your thoughts and views on life. When you snatch little pieces of other people`s lives and try to palm them off as your own, that`s more disgusting than anything. Robin Williams is a huge thief. Denis Leary is a huge thief. His whole stand-up career is based on Bill Hicks, a brilliant guy who died years ago.

He`s a dream. He`s the greatest. We shoot about 14 pages a day, which is maybe seven different scenes, which is a lot for a TV show. And I don`t think we ever work over 12 hours. But that`s because we don`t really rehearse. We don`t. We get some notes and maybe Denis changes this bit of writing or that. He`s so present. He has a special talent in that he`s so truthful. Working with him, you just fly with the material. He`s very centred and very generous.

When they were casting, Denis was very specific that he didn`t want any actors from L.A. and I was living in L.A. at the time.

It`s a big part of her lifestyle - her sexuality and seeking that sexual life with Tommy, ... I look forward to it. It`s stuff I`ve never done before. I`ve never played a sexpot before. It`s kind of fun to engage in that kind of story line. Literally, all Denis and I do during those sex scenes is laugh our a- off.

It`s kind of fun to engage in that kind of story line. Literally, all Denis and I do during those sex scenes is laugh our (butts) off.
