Chris Elliott's Quotes

But I don't think I was ever destined to be a big star.

I don't get offered many dramatic roles. As soon as my face pops up in a movie, everyone knows I'm the funny guy.

I missed the boat when I was doing Late Night.

I think the whole idea of me was that I wasn't going to be but that I wanted to be, desperately.

I'm not a competitive person.
