I really enjoy being a dad, and maybe I took it too seriously, but I love being around my kids.

I had auditioned for 'Saturday Night Live' two or three times before and never really saw myself there. I looked up to Belushi and Bill Murray and Aykroyd and I never saw myself as in their world.

While many comics have a secret persona, I fundamentally want to be myself.

My Obama is getting pretty good ... I think I'll vote for whoever makes my portrayal easier. It takes time to put together a comic impression. It takes time to recognize the tics. Right now, for instance, I could do a dead- on Paul Ryan and people wouldn't recognize it. Personalities take a while to sin.

I always tend to think of all of my shows as possibly my last show. I'm like a junior Springsteen, without the underbite.

You know, Elizabeth Taylor must be in Heaven going, 'Alright, fire two honey!'

I enjoy pushing my characters to the limit. No matter how far out there I go, I look for things that make the characters human.
