I would say that awards are for children. Because children need a tangible representation of their achievement. And as adults, you have to settle for the respect and admiration of your peers. – T. J. Miller
You just put yourself into your work, and you can do anything you want, depending on how hard you want to work for it. – T. J. Miller
I do believe that in the future there will be a movie called ‘Deadpool vs. Wolverine’. – T. J. Miller
I’ve stated that it’s possible the only reason I’m in show business is that I have such a strange, particular head of hair. That, and I can grow a red beard. – T. J. Miller
I don’t really know how to act that much. I’m quite good at comedy, but it’s mostly acting naturally. – T. J. Miller
I acted in high school and studied at the British American Drama Academy in Oxford for one summer. I minored in theater, and I was always acting growing up, but really, I was just more interested in the comedy of it all. – T. J. Miller
People dream their whole lives of their Oscar speech; I dreamt my whole life of hosting the Oscars. – T. J. Miller
I consider myself a fairly ethical individual while I do have a lot of dichotomies within me. We’re all victims of our own hypocrisy at times. – T. J. Miller
Always remember: My general theme is ‘There is no message.’ There never has been. Stop trying to find the message or the meaning in everything. That’s. My. Theme. – T. J. Miller
‘Yogi Bear’ changed my life in ways that I can’t explain because it’s not a full feature on me. ‘Yogi Bear’ – there’s everything before ‘Yogi Bear,’ and there’s everything after ‘Yogi Bear.’ Like a major car accident, or the birth of Christ. – T. J. Miller
I don’t know how much the economy has changed since Jonathan Swift’s ‘A Modest Proposal.’ – T. J. Miller
When you get into a car, and there’s trash, or it’s dirty, or one of the hubcaps is off, you’re like, ‘Come on, dude.’ Every woman likes the confidence and self-respect that says, ‘I get oil changes. I look after my vehicle.’ That’s what I recommend: Act like you don’t care, but take care of your body. – T. J. Miller
‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ is tongue-in-cheek and has a sense of humor about itself. But it’s nothing like ‘Deadpool.’ ‘Deadpool’ is this super-bizarre thing. The best thing about it is that it’s R-rated. – T. J. Miller
I feel a strong affinity to Ke$ha and Katy Perry and a lot of these women who are really pushing the girl power femme fatale thing. It’s fun, and it’s unapologetic, and they tell women they can do whatever they want, and that’s true, and that’s a message that I want to carry, to tell girls they can do whatever they want. – T. J. Miller
I think by now if people hire me, they know I’m going to improvise. I’m an improviser by trade. – T. J. Miller
It doesn’t matter to me if I’m in love with my performance, so I watch all of my performances to understand and learn from them and figure out what’s working and what’s not. And I see the movies that I’m in in the theater a lot. – T. J. Miller
I’m a Nietzschean scholar. I’ve read an immense amount about nihilism and existentialism. – T. J. Miller
There’s sketch, improv, writing, acting, music, and badminton. Those are the seven forms of comedy. – T. J. Miller
When I was in high school, I was doing all the plays. My drama teacher, Melody Duggan, was the one one who first made me do stand-up. She’s the origin of the whole thing; it’s all her. In high school in Denver, that was kind of the beginning of it all. – T. J. Miller
I love writing but not crazy meticulous/prepared enough to be a director. I’d work as a gaffer on something. – T. J. Miller
It’s okay to take yourself too seriously if you’re a serious actor and you’ve got the scrubs on. And then with me, it’s kind of like, well, I’m a comedian, I’m making fun of everybody and everything. And I’m making fun of myself. I’m having fun making fun of and for other people. – T. J. Miller
Everybody asks me what it was like to be in my underwear for my network television debut. – T. J. Miller
Sometimes, things need to be so understated on film that I don’t even see them as funny, which isn’t my favorite style, comedically. When I watch film comedy, I like people that are a little bit more alive on the screen and wound up. I like volatility and unpredictability and other long words like those. – T. J. Miller
