I don’t have any delusions. I don’t think I would make it through Navy SEAL training.
Author: Chris PrattI’d love to work with Steve Martin. I’d love to work with Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd.
Author: Chris PrattIt’s interesting – I always thought when I was doing more melodramatic stuff like ‘Everwood’ that the directors were constantly reeling me in and stopping me from being funny.
Author: Chris PrattNick Offerman is my hero. He just cracks me up. He’s so funny, but he’s a true actor, too – he’s bringing so much when he’s onscreen.

Author: Chris PrattSometimes the best way to deal with challenges is to approach them with a sense of humor.
Author: Chris PrattWith comedy, it’s a combination of knowing the comedic beat was good – it made you laugh, it made people on the crew laugh. With drama, you do something deep and if your stuff was really effective, the ultimate result is silence. Silence is not necessarily… that would also be the result if you sucked.

Author: Chris PrattI try to stay focused on the positive aspects of life and not let negativity bring me down.
Author: Chris PrattIt’s weird as actors because I mean we’re fortunate in the group of people who have to spend time away from their families. There are men and women serving overseas who certainly have it a lot harder than we do, and there are jobs that take people away from the families, and that’s a reality with some jobs that you have. One thing that’s really difficult I find is the transition, because not only do you have to learn how to transition to living on your own again, there’s a transition that happens learning how to live with somebody again.
Author: Chris PrattI lose my cell phone so much that I switch it every month or so, but Sony Ericsson is usually what I use.
Author: Chris PrattThe American audience has really opened up to women being A.) funny and B.) kinda crude. ‘Bridesmaids’ is R-rated, and I think it was a major coup for women to have an R-rated comedy that did really well. Same as ‘Bad Teacher.’

Author: Chris PrattTo go to the Oscars for Moneyball – that was pretty amazing. And to be able to go work with Kathryn Bigelow – that’s going to be pretty sweet. Hopefully I don’t have to go back to being a waiter. That’s still my main goal.

Author: Chinua AchebeI’ve learned that you can’t take yourself too seriously. It’s important to laugh and have fun.
Author: Chris PrattI’m happy to try any genre, from drama to comedy and anything in between. Although, to be fair, for most of my career, I’ve been at the mercy of what people are willing to put me in.
Author: Chris PrattWhen you’re working with film, you can only shoot one angle at a time, and then everything has to stop, and you re-light it and shoot everything else from the opposite side, so it’s really important that you stick exactly to what’s written.
Author: Chris PrattLife is all about balance. You need to work hard, but also make time for the things you love.
Author: Chris PrattI just feel like, if I drink, I want to drink a case of beer and not two beers. Two beers doesn’t do anything for me.
Author: Chris PrattIt’s important to stay humble and grounded, no matter how successful you become.

Author: Chris PrattA friend bought me a plane ticket to Hawaii, which is where I got discovered and became an actor, so I guess a friend bought me a winning lottery ticket.
Author: Chris PrattFigure out whether or not you believe in yourself, and if you don’t, find a way to. Because even more than you want it, you must believe it. And learn about yourself. The rhythm of one’s spirit is just as important as what you look like or what you sound like. Who are you? What’s your voice? What are you dying to contribute?
Author: Chris PrattI think it’s important to stay positive and focus on the good things. Life is too short to be anything but happy.
Author: Chris PrattI’ve done all kinds of cool things as an actor – I’ve jumped out of helicopters and done some daring stunts and played baseball in a professional stadium, but none of it means anything compared to being somebody’s daddy.

Author: Chris PrattI’m not a superstitious person. I’m not really religious, but I’m very spiritual. I believe in the power of the universe and I believe in the power of intention.
Author: Chris PrattBeing in good physical shape is the best way to combat depression. You just have endorphins running around your body. It is the best anti-depressive that there is.
Author: Chris PrattI know this may come as a shock to most of you, but I’ve decided to quit acting. I will not be auditioning for anything anymore, and if I get offered something like a role in a movie or a commercial or something, I will graciously turn it down. It’s been great, but its just not for me anymore.
