Seth Green's Quotes

• There are two kinds of people in this world: Michael Jackson fans and losers.
• [May 20, 2003] Doing something because it's quote-unquote "a good career move" doesn't really appeal to me. There's never a surefire good career move except doing good work.
• [of being famous] It's a period of adjustment. I've gotten a lot better at it. After working for 18 years, all of a sudden I became successful on a level where other people knew it. It's not a cat you can put back in the bag.
• [about being a child star:] My childhood success came and went real fast. Between 12 and 16, I grew--as much as I was going to, anyway--and no longer looked the same. Like most child actors, I found it a difficult adjustment. Still, I've done so many things that I wasn't associated with one thing. I'm an actor, not a celebrity. When recognition became an issue a few years ago, part of me felt undeserving. Desperate to maintain my popularity, I was performing all the time. Then, I caught a glimpse of myself at the MTV Music Awards -- dressed in leather, grasping for jokes--and set about changing my habits. Now that I've stopped trying so hard, I'm more comfortable in my skin.
• [on improvising:] . . . three movies with Mike Myers certainly loosened me up. He told me that there's a switch in your brain that censors you, makes you second-guess. You have to turn it off, shut out the fear of being embarrassed and making a mistake. Being a good improvisational actor is all about being in the scene, getting out of your head. Conan O'Brien is my favorite interviewer because he pays attention and has no game plan.
