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

Once I walked out of my house into to the Puerto Rican Day parade. It was usually a five-minute walk to work, but that day it took me a half-hour to get to 30 Rock.

I didn't really want to be an actor when I was growing up - I wanted to be whatever I was reading about or seeing at the time. When I read The Firm I wanted to be a lawyer; when I saw Top Gun, I wanted to be a fighter pilot. So that's why acting probably turned out to be a good thing for me because I get to be people for five minutes or 90 minutes. I'd be curious to see if I had the attention span to be like those guys on 30 Rock and play the same character season after season.

I was a straight man long before I knew what it was called. I was just the boring one.

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

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.

I am now The Establishment. There's nothing I can do about it.
