Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- Dana Carvey: I did a pilot with Desi Arnaz Jr. called Whacked Out. We're shooting the pilot, and we're bombing. I mean, it's just crickets--the whole audience was like (does the sound of a cricket chirping). Lucille Ball (Arnaz's mother) gets up and - she's older at this time - grabs the mic from the warm-up guy and goes, "What the hell's wrong with you people? I'm Lucille Ball, and this is funny shit".
  Edit Share Hide
- Dana Carvey: (on his family) I know it's a cliché, but the whole family is just whacked. I mean, we're all out of our minds. They're the funniest, most eccentric bizarre people I've ever met, my siblings.

- Dana Carvey: I pretty much try to stay in a constant state of confusion just because of the expression it leaves on my face.
