Nobody prepares you for what happens when you get famous, and I didn't handle it well.
From Chevy Chase
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.
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.
Anybody can reach anywhere from five to 15 million people weekly making a president look like an idiot, as I did back then, or Tina Fey did with Sarah Palin... You're always preaching to the choir one way or the other.
What's funny is funny. The same thing that made you laugh a hundred years ago makes you laugh now.
I think I need to be taken away, dropped in some territory with just a lot of loud guys.
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.
I'm Chevy Chase, and you're not.
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.
The best advice I can give you about falling is to never land.
