17 Chris Pratt Quotes That Prove He's Much Smarter Than 'Parks and Rec's Andy Dwyer
Chris Pratt has gone from Parks and Recreation's Andy to a bonafide action star (never forget this photo) in what feels like a matter of minutes, and with his blossoming career comes a great deal of worldly knowledge. Sure, Pratt's been busy fighting aliens with his role in Guardians of the Galaxy, but he might want to consider switching gears and auditioning for more cerebral roles — after all, Pratt has plenty of thoughts that could only benefit the general public. Check out the 17 quotes from Chris Pratt that will prove that he's the genius we always thought he was.
On His Secret Recipe
“You can pour melted ice cream on regular ice cream. It’s like a sauce!”
On Getting His 5-A-Day
“I have some weird habits. For instance, I love beets. Show me a salad bar and I will clean them out of their beets.”
On Love
“You want to be with a girl who likes you for you. Just be yourself and forget all of the stuff you read in GQ magazine.”
On His Boo
“I married way out of my pay grade. I have no idea how that happened.”
On True Comedy
“There’s nothing funnier than a giant, grown man rollerblading.”
On Knowing Comedy Is Pain
“The only way physical comedy works is if you don’t see it coming. And the harder the fall, the funnier it is. You have to really take some shots, and I’ve walked away with some bumps and bruises.”
On What He Finds Relaxing
“My favorite way to blow off steam is to sing obnoxiously loud in the shower.”
On His Elle Woods-Esque Philosphy
“Being in good physical shape is the best way to combat depression. You just have endorphins running around your body. It is the best anti-depressive that there is.”
On His Character Andy From 'Parks & Recreation'
“It’s funny because I meet people in real life and they tell me that I am Andy. I’m like, ‘What? This guy is a homeless person, and lives in a pit in the backyard of somebody’s house. Give me some credit, I’m a married father with responsibilities!’Parks And Rec is a platform for me to do something that I’ve grown to be pretty good at, which is playing dumb. But Andy, unfortunately, is not able to turn it off.”
On How To Defeat A T-Rex
“The trick is… put your head down between your knees and kiss your ass goodbye.”
On Why He's Funny IRL
“The best stuff that you hear me say will be stuff that I thought of over the past three years. The best acting I did was pretending that it was improv and sneaking it in like I just stumbled on it.”
On His Life Philosophy
“Just be yourself, and hopefully they can shape an epic space adventure around exactly who you are.”
On The Biebs Fight With Orlando Bloom
“How embarrassing to get punched by Orlando Bloom. Like, of all the people to get punched by, it’s Orlando Bloom. I’d rather get farted on by David Hasselhoff!”
On Reality
“I don’t have any delusions. I don’t think I would make it through Navy SEAL training.”
