Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- Will Arnett (on Arrested Development character Gob Bluth): It was a really fun part to play, just that incredible insecurity masked by an incredible amount of bravado. But all of that was just a total front for somebody who's not been loved. With that, as an actor, it gave me a lot of license to be kind of awful and simultaneously sweet. We always sort of joked that the writers created these pretty terrible characters. On paper, they were pretty terrible people, and it was always our job to try to make them likable. So I miss that experience, and I do miss Gob, that old rogue.
  Edit Share Hide
- Will Arnett (on being nominated for an Emmy): It wasn't something that I expected, because we stopped shooting episodes the day before Christmas and our last episode aired in like February. So to turn on your phone in July, when you're not expecting it, and hear you've been nominated is so weird!
  Edit Share Hide
- Will Arnett (on an Arrested Development movie): Yeah, we spoke this summer about that. I don't know what exactly it would take for that movie to get made. I guess it would just be, well, first and foremost it would be Mitch Hurwitz feeling the desire and the inspiration to write a script. I don't know if he's been approached further to come up with something. But I'm working with Mitch on something right now, so I feel like I'm kind of getting my Arrested Development itch scratched.
