  • "Smokey, my friend, you are entering a world of pain."
  • " You know, Dude, I myself dabbled in pacifism once. Not in 'Nam of course"
  • "F***ing Germans. Nothing changes. F***ing Nazis."
  • "Saturday, Donny, is Shabbos, the Jewish day of rest. That means that I don't work, I don't get in a car, I don't f***ing ride in a car, I don't pick up the phone, I don't turn on the oven, and I sure as sh*t on't f***ing roll! Shomer shabbos! "

He was a man who loved the outdoors... and bowling, and as a surfer he explored the beaches of Southern California, from La Jolla to Leo Carrillo and... up to... Pismo. He died, like so many young men of his generation, he died before his time. In your wisdom, Lord, you took him, as you took so many bright flowering young men at Khe Sanh, at Langdok, at Hill 364. These young men gave their lives. And so would Donny. Donny, who loved bowling. And so, Theodore Donald Karabotsos, in accordance with what we think your dying wishes might well have been, we commit your final mortal remains to the bosom of the Pacific Ocean, which you loved so well. Good night, sweet prince."
  • "So what are you saying? When you get divorced you turn in your library card? You get a new license? You stop being Jewish?"

  • "Doing Roseanne made me famous. To this day, people will call me Dan Arnold. They'll shout out, 'Where's Roseanne?'"
  • On quitting smoking: "I quit a year and a half ago and I turned into a werewolf. I went nuts. I've been smoking since I was in junior high school. I did a couple of episodes of The West Wing two years ago and I was in the middle of one of these psycho things and turned around and smacked the stage door as hard as I could and my fist immediately swelled up. Thank God I didn't break anything, but that was the last episode I had of nicotine withdrawal."
  • (2007 - After completing rehab at Promises in Malibu) For my family and myself, I voluntarily took the necessary steps to remain sober the rest of my life.
  • I quit a year and a half ago and I turned into a werewolf. I went nuts. I've been smoking since I was in junior high school. I did a couple of episodes of The West Wing two years ago and I was in the middle of one of these psycho things and turned around and smacked the stage door as hard as I could and my fist immediately swelled up. Thank God I didn't break anything, but that was the last episode I had of nicotine withdrawal. [on quitting smoking in 2003]
  • I flew into New York for the Raising Arizona audition, and we just started joking around. I started going through their résumé pile, looking at actors, and just kinda made myself at home in my obnoxious way. I think they cast me because I had a baby face and that was a motif of the film. [on how he met and started his relationship with the Coen Bros.]
  • I wish I could do it again. I didn't have enough time to get it right. [on his performance in The Babe (1992)]
  • We'll shoot in Los Angeles, on the same lot where we shot Roseanne. It'll be difficult because I live in New Orleans. But I really enjoy doing sitcoms. You've got 22 minutes a week to put on a new play. It keeps me off the street. [about his role as a gay construction worker]
