“Well, I think probably when I first got in the business, I wasn't thin...” — Stephen Root Quote

“Well, I think probably when I first got in the business, I wasn't thinking of being strictly a character actor. But I knew I wanted to be a working actor, and as the years have gone on, I just naturally evolved into that. Because, y'know, I'm not a leading guy. Never was.”

“It's fun to do voiceover work, although you still have to act. But it doesn't involve memorizing lines, and you don't have to dress up.”

“I don't aspire to direct like many actors. I would aspire most likely to do some writing, but I haven't had a chance to do that.”

“There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.”

“My show 'The Big House' was picked up; they flew me to New York. I'm about to step on stage to announce Kevin Hart's 'The Big House.' And a hand grabs my shoulder, 'Kevin no, they just decided to cancel it.' It's a serious smack-in-the-face business, and either you can take it, or you can't.”

“I love to promote our sport. I love grass-roots tennis. I love coaching. I love all parts of the sport. I love the business side.”
