A lot of improvisation ends up being about just thinking outside of the box in the scene. It's not improvisation as much as it is quickness or making it real.

I think people who live in the worlds that movies are based on end up disliking them. Unless they're from a different time and era.

That's what I love about sketch comedy: a sketch is five minutes, then it goes dark, and there's the potential for something else.

You start at 'SNL' when you're young and hungry, but I don't want my pro years to be my 'SNL' years.

I'm not buying a boat because of writing skits.

When somebody listens and laughs, you're always in better shape than when you're with those folks who just kind of look at you when you say something funny. You wonder if they're looking at you because they're mad that they didn't say it or something. It's hard to handle that.

I always took pictures, but about five or six years ago, I started taking more behind the scenes at SNL, and now I have some 60,000 photos sitting on my laptop.
