- Is a Vietnam-era Army Veteran. He was drafted and served for two years in West Germany.
- He admitted he had a hard time enjoying himself working on Seinfeld (1989). This he said was because he was so focused on his lines.
- Auditioned for the role of Al Bundy on Um Amor de Família (1987).
- Cosmo Kramer, his character in Seinfeld (1989), always wore clothes one size too big to make him appear to be laid back and loose.
- His big dream when he started acting was to play a detective. This led him to later create The Michael Richards Show (2000), a sitcom about a private detective agency. The show flopped. Later, he was considered for the lead role in another comical detective show, Monk: Um Detetive Diferente (2002), which ultimately went to Tony Shalhoub.
- My job is to stay out of his way. - in an interview with Oprah explaining how he prepared for the character of Kramer
- [on signing on to appear in 'Kirstie'] When I was doing 'Seinfeld' I was very intense. Physical comedy takes more time to set up - rehearsing how to come through the door, that slide I did. So I was always in development, and that made me feel like I wasn't able to sit back and enjoy the ride. So this time, I want to be more like a child out on the street, just playing and having fun, and not taking it all so seriously.
- [on why he returned to television] Well, I'm an artist. You do it because you love to do it. It's what you are. It's the color of your fur. It's the same after all these years.
- [observation, 2013, on the trouble he brought on himself seven years earlier] That'll never happen again. I know how to behave - to consciously behave. When something like that comes up, I don't let the heat of anger burn me up as I did. When you're under the helm of anger, watch out, 'cause it'll take you down. It's like being possessed by a demon.
