My goal, whenever entering a project, is always to gain 12 pounds.

I actually think there's a potential, a crazy potential, that network TV could become something valuable and worthwhile, just because of fear on the part of the networks.

In acting, you're only responsible for your part. When you're directing, the load is on your shoulders, so you have to feel a strong connection to the material. It's a higher bar to get over.

In the end, the thing that really stays with you is not that you were clever enough to connect a sketch to another sketch, but what really sticks with you is when you just have an incredible moment happen, or execute a really funny idea.

I don't think the sketch on its own is a great sketch.

I think everybody has a public persona. We all present ourselves.

I think that acting is no fun unless it's hard. I'm not titillated by acting or being an actor unless I have to work hard.
