A biography for Adam Sandlerhasn’t been written yet.
“I was just a young guy who was excited to become a comedian and an actor and I just wanted to get to do what I got to do.”
“My comedy is different every time I do it. I don't know what the hell I'm doing.”
“I shouldn't be near Vegas and have money in my pocket.”
“I sing seriously to my mom on the phone. To put her to sleep, I have to sing 'Maria' from West Side Story. When I hear her snoring, I hang up.”
“I'm not great at bedtime stories. Bedtime stories are supposed to put the kid to sleep. My kid gets riled up and then my wife has to come in and go, 'All right! Get out of the room.'”
“I grew up cursing a lot. It felt natural. My parents told me to stop.”
“I've always had lots of friends and my house was the house they all hung out at.”
“In high school I wanted to be a rock star and was in a lot of bands.”
“When I was younger and did a stand-up gig, it would take me two weeks to recover. Sometimes I'd get so panicked that I would stutter.”
“We just bought this house. It's too big. It's like 400,000 square feet, or something. We got an indoor lake and ski slope in the house! It's just too big.”
“I prefer musicals, because I am the best dancer who ever lived. The best plies, the best sashays, and by far the best-smelling Capezios.”
“I can handle pain.”
“I've been called a moron since I was about four. My father called me a moron. My grandfather said I was a moron. And a lot of times when I'm driving, I hear I'm a moron. I like being a moron.”
“I never had a speech from my father 'this is what you must do or shouldn't do' but I just learned to be led by example. My father wasn't perfect.”
“God gave me some weird, beautiful scent that makes men and women go crazy. People compare it to Carvel. It is a whale of a smell.”
“Through my films I'm eventually trying to one day tell the truth. I don't know if I'm ever going to get there, but I'm slowly letting pieces of myself out there and then maybe by the time I'm 85, I'll look back and say, 'All right, that about sums it up.'”
“Girls are soft and pretty.”
“I'll continue to make the typical Adam Sandler comedies.”
“I like sitting and writing with my buddies.”
“When I'm around the kids I feel like I act the most grown-up just because you're supposed to. And I say things, like every other day, that remind me of my own parents.”
