Johnny Knoxville at an event for God Grew Tired of Us (2006)

Quotes

Johnny Knoxville

  • People think by challenging me they're going to show they're tough. But I'm not tough. Decent drinker. Not such a bad kisser. But not a great fighter.
  • It's a real primal thing, watching someone get hurt. It's funny and accessible.
  • I just love that spirit that makes people do things that they probably shouldn't.
  • I should quit, but man we have so much fun.
  • You can tell it's good if you light it and a blue flame comes up; that means it's good moonshine and it won't make you go blind.
  • Bo and Luke are essentially good guys. They're just reckless as all hell. Mean as snakes, but in a good way.
  • [when asked why he did not reprise the role of Leonardo in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (2016)] I have no idea! I'm like why am I not doing the voiceover for this? I don't know what happened. But I wish them all the luck in the world.
  • If you're not failing at something, you're not trying hard enough. Failing is part of it. You know, if you're not trying hard enough to even fail then I think you're in trouble... because that, you know, teaches you more.
  • Mel Brooks is such a huge hero of mine. Blazing Saddles is my favorite comedy, period, ever. Don't get me started because I just love Mel Brooks. That's on my Mount Rushmore.
  • I will watch films over and over; I'm like a little kid! You can just turn on the same cartoons over and over, I'll just watch the same movies over and over.
  • If you're gonna wreck yourself you might as well get paid for it.
  • [on filming in India] It was really intense. On the side of the roads, you have little kids in pits, swimming in holes, and traffic's going every-which-way, you'll hit someone in traffic - someone's car - and they'll keep going. It's a very intense place, it's gorgeous, but you come back to America and you think, 'I don't have problems, I have inconveniences.' Y'know, are things that bad? No. Everyone in Encino should go to India and then complain. Oh, your latte's not made right? Fuck you.
  • My stunts are designed to fail. I think other stuntmen, their's are designed to succeed. If I succeed, I've failed.
