Everybody in Hollywood loves symbolic gestures.
Drew Carey

Hollywood people are filled with guilt: white guilt, liberal guilt, money guilt. They feel bad that they're so rich, they feel they don't work that much for all that money - and they don't, for the amount of money they make.

Nothing's funny about someone who's successful.
Drew Carey

Oh, you hate your job? Why didn't you say so? There's a support group for that. It's called everybody, and they meet at the bar.
Drew Carey

People laugh to forget their troubles, and to forget their troubles they like to look at people who aren't doing better than they are.
Drew Carey

Some people don't like competition because it makes them work harder, better.
Drew Carey

That's the great thing about having your friends around you. I've known these guys forever. I really enjoy their company just as people. You couldn't ask for a better work environment.
