Joel McHale Quotes |
| |
My goal and my career is definitely not to be famous. That's a really horrible goal, just to be famous for the sake of having fame. | I won't do porn. Well, I won't do triple-X porn. | I've always made fun of television shows and how ridiculous some celebrity behavior is, but I never thought my job would be commenting on it. There's a side of me that's happy I get to say these things out loud. But other times I feel like a whore. |
