I was a young, new, hot star, and I had this unbelievable arrogance. As time went on, the strident narcissism and arrogance slowly diminished. But I was definitely there. I’m older now. And a big crybaby. – Chevy Chase
Anything I have blown a lot of money on? Well, I have three daughters and a wife – that’s four women, and I’m working on a sitcom, so you could say that I am just trying to stay alive! – Chevy Chase
I really love making movies. I just have this yearning in my stomach to go back and somehow subversively screw up television a little bit again. – Chevy Chase
Comparing ‘Christmas Vacation’ to ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ is the silliest thing.

Every Vacation movie didn’t just make the studio money. They each made the studio a lot of money. – Chevy Chase
I would love to do a movie with Albert Brooks; we’re so different, but I find him so funny, and I can be just as seemingly narcissistic as he comes off, the ‘it’s all about me’ kind of thing. – Chevy Chase

You could knock my teeth out and break my nose, and there’d be something funny about it to me. – Chevy Chase
What’s funny is funny. The same thing that made you laugh a hundred years ago makes you laugh now. – Chevy Chase
I tell the person I won’t take a picture or sign the autograph, but I will shake their hand. That kind of personal touch is all they’re really seeking. – Chevy Chase
With Clinton, there’s no question that I would have made fun of his out-and-out lying. But he’s also a good friend. – Chevy Chase
My father was the funniest guy I ever met. I’m not sure if I stole his stuff or if I inherited it. – Chevy Chase
I just went into this business for laughs. I guess I don’t mind being an actor so much now. – Chevy Chase
To me, talk shows are those things during the middle of the afternoon where the underbelly of society is made to look like Middle America. – Chevy Chase
Last good pratfall I did, I broke bones in both hands. I still feel it when people shake my hand. – Chevy Chase
We never could have performed live for an hour and a half every week if we were doing drugs. – Chevy Chase
