Quotes

“Yeah, I don't think you can live anywhere else -- it's such a great city [New York]. L.A. is kind of a necessary evil, but man, I love going back to New York.”

— "The Will Arnett Interview," Television Without Pity (2005)

“Arrested Development opened a lot of doors for me, and once I sort of became, I guess what you'd say "available," there was a lot of opportunity out there, and it's been nice; a lot of people have found it in their hearts to offer me movie parts.”

— "Will Arnett: The TV Squad Interview," TV Squad (August 2, 2006)

“Arrested Development was such an amazing experience in every way, and you know it was very unique in that it was a show that received a lot of critical acclaim, and yet we didn't ever achieve the ratings that we wanted.”

— "Will Arnett: The TV Squad Interview," TV Squad (August 2, 2006)
