154"Of course killing people is 'wrong', but I think history shows that sometimes it serves the greater good." - Zach Braff on genocide

162"It's... it's such a weird thing. After Garden State, so many companies wanted to make my movies, and after The Last Kiss, I realized people would make anything I was in. As long as I keep this up I'll be swimming in chubby indie girl pussy." - Zach Braff on his recent success

169"I pick the songs for my movies by typing a random word - say "bee" - and then by typing the word "pitchfork" along with it and then whatever pitchfork album review Google brings up I then look at the album, select the fourth song off of it, and then try t write a film scene around whatever song it is.

186"Sure, I love my mom. But all she did was sit back and take some genetic material and shot me out 9 months later. It's not like she wrote, directed and acted in Garden State. " - Zach Braff on his mother

190"Watching John C. McGinley half-ass his lines, probably. Watch Platoon, when he's around Sheen, Dafoe, Berenger. I wouldn't say he's good in it, but you can tell he's trying. It just makes me feel so good to know that I've crushed his work ethic and passion, it's like he knows he'll never be on my level." - Zach Braff on what keeps him going in life
191"I've always preferred Marvel over DC. I just relate to their characters better. I mean look at Wolverine, at first he was just a bit player in an ensemble cast. Now he's the only reason people read X-Men. Just like me and Scrubs. " - Zach Braff on comics

206"I lot of people remember when that kid spray-painted my brand new Porsche for Punk'd. That was pretty funny. He got me pretty good. Of course, most people don't know I eventually got him back with my own show. I call it a show, really it's just an hour-long video shot in my bedroom featuring the two of us. " - Zach Braff on the motivation behind "Rape'd"
207"People still make New Year's resolutions? Wow. I figured those were pointless once I perfected myself by directing, writing, and acting in Garden State. I guess it makes sense, though.

210"Lots of people were giving me flak when I made the deal to do the very last season of Scrubs for $350,000 an episode.

212"Hitler had the right idea. He was just an underachiever." - Zach Braff on genocide

234"If I could change anything about Garden State, it would be to cast somebody else for the female lead. Natalie just isn't really that good of an actress. Especially when compared to me. Just watch the two of us, it's light and dark. I am by far the better Jew. " - Zach Braff on Natalie Portman
235"I've been thinking, and they really should make me my own.

245"In my opinion, one of the biggest drawbacks about Sergio Leone films are the scores composed by Ennio Morricone. If [Leone] were as talented as I am, he would have made mixtapes for his movies instead of letting some schmuck write the soundtracks for him. But then if he were as talented as I am, he'd be Zach Braff. And have his own Grammy." - Zach Braff on directors less talented than he is
246"I know I can't say this is worse than the Holocaust, but... this is worse than the Holocaust" - Zach Braff on the ABC lineup

We worked things about about nine hours in, which is good because I ate her thumb as a midnight snack." - Zach Braff on his contract negotiations for the sixth season of Scrubs
249"Cunt." - Zach Braff on his favorite nickname for Scrubs co-star Sarah Chalke

253"I think there are bound to be obstacles in any path to success. I mean, I'm Jewish, and there's nothing I can do about that. Instead of sitting around and feeling sorry for myself, I got over it and did something with my life." - Zach Braff on motivation
254"Bob Marley, The Grateful Dead, Queen, Janis Joplin, Buddy Holly, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Zach Braff. What do they all have in common? Not a damned thing. Those assholes never won a Grammy." - Zach Braff on winning the Grammy for Best Soundtrack Album

259"I experimented in College like most kids." - Zach Braff on rape
260"I don't know why people were so upset with me. Prince got his own symbol. I just wanted to adopt the handicap symbol as my own so I could park in handicap spots. Deformed people should be honored to park so close to me. Meeting a celebrity like me may give them hope in their mistake of a life." - Zach Braff
261"Well he was originally going to be up against me, but they decided that it wasn't good television for me to be winning every time." - Zach Braff on Bear Grylls and Man vs. Wild

264"Hitler was about population control." - Zach Braff on Adolf Hitler
265"My favorite meal? It has to be furburgers everyday in the morning." - Zach Braff on breakfast

267"My co-stars aren't bad actors, but they're no Zach Braff." - Zach Braff on Scrubs
268"I think we have to acknowledge that people are different and succeed at different things, first of all.

But women are better than men at some professions, too, like elementary teaching, prostitution, and giving birth. Who's to say which is more important?" - Zach Braff on gender equality
269"I don't do interviews anymore. I mean, any asshole with a pen and paper can write down what I say, but only someone like Hemingway can understand what I'm really saying, you know?" - Zach Braff on inteviews
270"The worst part about it is they'll never see one of my movies again" - Zach Braff on Chris Benoit

272"When you're the director and the writer, you never have to remember your lines, and there's no one to call you on it. On Garden State I did different lines on every take, just making shit up. And it was great each time." - Zach Braff on acting, writing, and directing

279"The best part of being famous is being able to make people's lives a little better just by mine and theirs intersecting. For example, I love having sex with married women because, hey, they get to have sex with Zach Braff. But then when their husbands inevitably catch me doubling their wives' twats with my enormous cock, the husbands get the pleasure of knowing their dick has been the same place as Zach Braff's. And if they're really lucky, they'll raise or find out they're raising one of my bastard offspring. Sometimes serving others is its own reward, you know? " - Zach Braff on selflessness

" - Zach Braff on his love life.
