Diedrich's REALLY FAMOUS Quotes
You'll hear this and more on Really Famous.
“Most of the studio films I’ve been in I don’t like. Like Miss Congeniality 2. It didn’t seem to have a reason to exist.”“I’m completely happy with where I am right now and it’s entirely due to women.”“Julia Louis-Dreyfus is the one who turned my career around.”“I was, frankly, bored with who I was.”“I basically phoned it in and I thought it was really terrible.”“I was totally depressed. I had basically hit bottom as an actor.”“I’ve worked with people who are difficult. And some of the difficult people are not talented and it’s very frustrating. I know so many talented people who aren’t working. Everyone in voice-over is talented. So it’s a joy.”“Most of them are total narcissists.”“If I hadn’t shot as many show as I had before then, I would’ve quit show business.”
