Andy Quote #594

Quote from Andy in Livin' the Dream

David: Andy-
Andy: I'm gonna stop you right there. David, this documentary is going to air in two weeks. I feel like it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pursue my dream.
David: Uh-huh, but-
Andy: Every minute that I spend here is time not spent making audition videos for reality dating, cooking or singing shows. I got a real shot here. And I'll never be able to forgive myself if I blew it because I was too focused on my stupid paper company job. No offense.
David: So you think you've been too focused on your job?
Andy: At my last head shot sitting, I was so distracted wondering what I was missing at work that I came across totally manic. And I was going for zany.
David: So you- You want to quit Dunder Mifflin to pursue acting?
Andy: Well, no, actually. I see no reason to limit myself to just acting. I am pursuing fame of any kind. Could be singing, could be dancing. I don't- It just- I owe it to myself and my future fans.
David: Uh, well, I guess I can't stand in the way of a man's dream. And it seems like you have the gift.
Andy: Thank you, David.
David: There's probably no way I can talk you into staying at this point, can I?
Andy: Nope. I have made up my mind. I'm really sorry.
David: Well, good luck.
Andy: Thank you. Not gonna need it.
David Wallace: Okay.
[aside to camera:]
David: Well, that kind of worked out.

Quote from Stanley

Stanley: Andy's from the generation that thinks they should all be famous. What happened to the generation that knew you shut up, did your work, and died quietly from a heart attack?

Quote from Darryl

Darryl: I just think you're going into this a little fast.
Andy: I'm 38, Darryl, how much slower should I go?
Darryl: Show business is cold. Let's say you get a job, which you probably won't. They're not gonna cut you any slack. You're meant for a job with lots and lots of slack.

Quote from Creed

Creed: I think just about anybody could be a star. My postman, the night janitor here, but Andy? No, definitely not. Charisma black hole.
