I improvise whenever I feel it's important, or whenever I think that something's there. It's nice to have a script that's so well-written that I don't have to improvise. I mean, I used to have to re-write whole movies; this is kind of nice.

You cannot pray them out of hell.

I went to Second City, where you learned to make the other actor look good so you looked good and National Lampoon, where you had to create everything out of nothing, and SNL, where you couldn't make any mistakes, and you learned what collaboration was.

It’s fun to watch someone like John Goodman, and yet it takes work. People say ‘he’s not acting, he’s being himself.’ Well it’s hard to be yourself, it’s the hardest job there is.

Here's the thing, you just have to drive a lot faster, and if you don't get there, we're both fired.

Every moment that you share someone else's pain, feel what they feel, makes you more human.

You can handle just about anything that comes at you out on the road with a believable grin, common sense and whiskey.
