Quotes from Bobcat Goldthwait

I really like 'Disaster Artist.'

I've probably done myself a disservice as a brand because the movies I've made. They've all been completely different.

I've been making fun of administrations since I was a teenager onstage.

I like stand-up. I've done it since I was a teenager, so it's kind of my first job and first kind of creative way to express myself.

I'm kind of a dummy. I make movies and not realize until afterwards, 'Oh, I'm the protagonist.'

I was in punk bands when I was a kid, and then I would do stand-up in between bands - which wasn't any different from my singing.

As long as there's a strong theme that I can identify with, that's what makes me interested in writing.

I like to go to the movies and watch characters who make me question how I see the world.

Every time I go to a march or a rally, and I post it on Instagram, people will go, 'I'm going to unfollow you!' And I'm like, 'I used to play arenas. I've lost a lot of fans. I'm fine with that. I've had people unfollowing me for years. You're way behind the times.'

Although it sounds very trite, I wish people were nice.

'The Blair Witch Project' is a great movie.

I think I hang out with some pretty witty people, but we're never that funny.

The thing that interested me, there are so many filmmakers I admire - like David Lynch and Quentin Tarantino - they have these themes where there's not much going on, but they were suspenseful.

I retired from acting the same time they stopped hiring me. But following my own thing of making these small indie movies has been the happiest I've ever been.

My heroes, growing up, were people like Andy Kaufman and Groucho Marx and people that very rarely drop the persona.

I'm always wondering, if Bigfoot's not real, then why does this creature show up in all these different cultures? I'm always fascinated by that kind of stuff.

I actually really like being in the woods.

I actually believe that the basis of a good relationship isn't liking the same things, it's hating the same things.

I don't really pursue acting. I jokingly say that I retired right at the same time people stopped hiring me, but I really don't think I'm very good at it, and I'm not really interested in it anymore as an adult.

I'm not really trying to reach a big mass of an audience. My movies are done for a tiny, tiny budget, and that affords me to make them more personal.

I do think there are more people who would probably related to my movies and who aren't aware of them.
