Love & Passion Quote by Danny DeVito

"It's just an ice bucket with a bottle in it. The two flute glasses are little tray. I got to shut the curtains. I'm in my boxer shorts and shirt. I'm going to take a bath and go to bed. But I want to shut the blinds so it's really dark in the room"

About this Quote

There’s something quietly perfect about a movie star reducing the machinery of luxury to household clutter: an ice bucket, a bottle, two flute glasses perched on a tray. Danny DeVito’s voice here isn’t selling glamour; it’s puncturing it with the kind of deadpan practicality that’s defined his screen persona for decades. The effect is to turn the classic hotel-room fantasy - champagne, privacy, indulgence - into a scene of mild inconvenience and bodily reality.

The subtext is intimacy through demystification. DeVito narrates the room the way most people actually experience a room: noticing objects, negotiating light, managing comfort, trying to reclaim control over a space that isn’t theirs. The repeated need to shut curtains and blinds reads like more than a preference for darkness. It’s about boundaries. Celebrity collapses the distance between public and private; the little ritual of making it “really dark” becomes an insistence on being unobserved, unperformed, off-camera.

Then there’s the detail that lands like a small comic confession: “I’m in my boxer shorts and shirt.” It’s funny because it’s mundane and slightly undignified, a refusal of the polished image. But it also signals vulnerability, the human body as the one thing no amount of status can fully stylize away. A bath, bed, darkness: the itinerary of someone stepping out of character and back into a self that’s tired, ordinary, and protective of its quiet.
