Quotes from Kurt Fuller

It's a strange thing to have a successful television show because if it's too interesting... people don't really pay attention when they watch TV.

I didn't get married until I was forty because I wanted to be stable when I got married. I think I just avoided my first marriage and went right to the second. It's sort of how I see it.
