I want people to laugh from the gut, be sad from the gut-or get angry from the gut. - Andy Kaufman There's no drama like wrestling. - Andy Kaufman Pure entertainment is not an egotistical lady singing boring songs onstage for two hours and people in tuxes clapping whether they like it or not.

I believe in playing it straight to the hilt. - Andy Kaufman They say, 'Oh wow, Andy Kaufman, he's a really funny guy.' But I'm not trying to be funny. I just want to play with their heads. - Andy Kaufman While all the other kids were out playing ball and stuff, I used to stay in my room and imagine that there was a camera in the wall.
