T. J. Miller quotes:

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.

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.

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.

There's sketch, improv, writing, acting, music, and badminton. Those are the seven forms of comedy.

By the very nature of satire or parody, you have to love and respect your target and respect it enough to understand every aspect of it, so you can more effectively make fun of it.

I laugh at absurdity hardest, then stories, then observations, then bearded men on roller skates.

Funny is as funny does, and funny puts on a walrus mask and slowly gyrates in a mall food court. I laugh at absurdity hardest, then stories, then observations, then bearded men on roller skates.

You just put yourself into your work, and you can do anything you want, depending on how hard you want to work for it.

My name's Todd but I changed it in the first grade because there was another kid named Todd and I didn't understand that that was possible.

I know about the tech industry in that I follow what apps are hot and software development. I know my way around different browsers. I know how to restart a computer.

I love writing but not crazy meticulous/prepared enough to be a director. I'd work as a gaffer on something.

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.

It's much better to wreak havoc on a show and be a maniac than promote myself. Plugs and anecdotes aren't really in line with my beliefs. Besides, if someone sees me on a morning show and thinks, 'That's not funny; this guy is crazy,' then I don't want them to come to the show anyway.

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 and stuff, but really, I was just more interested in the comedy of it all. So for me, it's always comedy, and then acting is just one medium of comedy.

I have perfectly symmetrical ankles.

They ask me what the biggest thing I have going on right now is, and I usually say, "I think this interview?" And then they don't get that it's a joke. So then I say, Yogi Bear 3D. That's my default.

Most things I get hired on, I get hired because I improvise something funny, or they just think I look weird.

I think it is very important to be a method actor.

I drink a fair amount of ramen noodles.

I'm a stand-up. I'm never worried about getting my next role. That's never distressing to me.

I don't sit and write stand-up material; I come up with an idea onstage.

I'm always so amazed by which performances work really, really well and which ones don't. But I think it's just mostly, 'She's Out Of My League,' so many people saw that movie on DVD and on the plane. Just millions of people saw that movie. That's the reason I'm somewhat famous.

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.

GOOD THINGS DO COME IN BEARS!!.... is how I climax.

I like hip-hop, but I don't like concerts. There's like sweat, on people's backs.

If I can make someone laugh, I lift them out of their fundamentally tragic existence.

If you're a psychologist, you can instrumentally change peoples' lives for the better.

I'm having a difficult time killing my parents

Stuff that I write isn't as similar to the stuff that I'm in, but I don't really care, I just do comedy.

When it's all you, you can't blame a bear. You gotta bear the burden yourself.

Work harder than anyone else around you.

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.

Yogi Bear changed my life in ways that I can't explain because it's not a full feature on me.

Yogi Bear was a real moment in my life. Post-Yogi Bear: don't drink as much. Pre-Yogi Bear: like to drink much.
