Fraser: "I would act whether or not I was paid. I would be involved in ensemble groups. I would have the desire to tell stories."
Fraser: "I guess darkness serves a purpose: to show us that there is redemption through chaos. I believe in that. I think that's the basis of Greek mythology."
Fraser: "Horrible things happen, but were they horrible? No, they were just circumstances of the world."
Fraser: "I believe you have a responsibility to comport yourself in a manner that gives an example to others. As a young man, I prayed for success. Now I pray just to be worthy of it."
Fraser: "I think you have to show homage to creators."
Fraser: "I'm starting to judge success by the time I have for myself, the time I spend with family and friends. My priorities aren't amending; they're shifting."
Fraser: "I suppose if it has a practical purpose, I appreciate a pat on the back. I suppose it's rewarding, ultimately."
Fraser: "Most people go, I wish for world peace. But chaos has a place in balancing out the light and the dark in the world. I don't know if I would wish for world peace."
Fraser: "I always approach comedy roles pretending they aren't funny."
Fraser: "I have so much satisfaction in my life. I have a beautiful wife and the great stimulation of an interesting career. I'm the most happy fellow that I know."
Fraser: "The test audience holds a great deal of power in the process of filmmaking in the United States."
Fraser: "If you run an Internet search on Vietnam and the war, most of the information you get begins at about 1962. I think this is telling. It is missing the whole period that led up to the reasons the war happened in the first place."
Fraser: "All you have to do is just believe in what's there; then, the audience will, too."
Fraser: "When you throw punches at actors, you stop, you pull it, and it looks like you pulled it. When you throw punches at cartoon characters, they are not there, so you can swing through. It looks like you really decked them."
Fraser: "I don't believe that wishing works. I think we get the things we work for."
