I think midlife crisis is just a point where people's careers have reached some plateau and they have to reflect on their personal relationships.

I realized the more fun I had, the more relaxed I was working, the better I worked.

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.

To people who want to be rich and famous, I'd say, "Get rich first and see if that doesn't cover it."

You have to be as light as you can be and not get weighed down and stuck in your emotion, stuck in your body, stuck in your head. You just want to always be trying to elevate somehow.

I was at the New York Film Critics Circle Awards one year - they called me up when somebody canceled two days before the thing, and asked me to present some awards. So I went, and one of the funniest film moments I've ever had was when they introduced the New York film critics. They all stood up - motley isn't the word for that group. Everybody had some sort of vision problem, some sort of damage - I had to bury myself in my napkin.

This is not a dress rehearsal; this is your life.
