When you do well in a movie that's seen as really great, you're revitalized for six weeks.

I was a huge fan of comedy and movies and TV growing up, and I was able to memorize and mimic a lot of things, not realizing that that meant I probably wanted to be an actor. I just really, really amused myself and my friends with memorizing entire George Carlin or Steve Martin albums.

I've done literally 100, 150 different characters.

I put a tremendous amount of pressure on myself. I felt like I shouldn't have to audition for anything and all that. And that energy did not serve me at all.

I've met a lot of rock stars when they come to The Simpsons, and almost every one of them I get really freaked out.

I think the reason the Golden Age of television is so golden is because a lot of folks are willing to let creators do their thing and live or die by their own muse. They certainly allow us to do that.

It's not really difficult to go from one voice into the next.
