The Duplass brothers do that so well – that very simple, very horrifically awkward comedy. – Timothy Simons
You’re taught from a very young age that you shouldn’t get too big for your britches, so I tend to err way too much on the side of ‘Nothing means anything.’ – Timothy Simons
David Letterman was my guy growing up. My parents recorded the tenth anniversary special for me, and I watched it 40 times. – Timothy Simons
Keeping children alive and free of disease is not a political issue and cannot be put into a partisan box. – Timothy Simons
I don’t know, and certainly I’ve been guilty of making a judgment about a celebrity, but there’s a part of me that’s like, ‘Why don’t you take the time you’re spending ripping James Franco and go do something you like?’ – Timothy Simons
When I was a carpenter, I built sets for small storefront Chicago companies. Like, I built sets for friends of mine at The House Theater. – Timothy Simons

It’s so odd because I don’t even know if I’m cut out for it, but being a movie star guy, I sort of end up gravitating toward the Coen brothers.

I’ll believe I made it when I’m 100 years old, I’m still able to get work, and they’re about to put me in a coffin, and I’ll be like, ‘Yeah, OK, it went all right.’ But until then, I’m not saying it. – Timothy Simons
I’m very much in favor of vaccinations, and I’ve been very vocal about that because it’s insane to forgo this. – Timothy Simons
