[You're voice acting] and you're screaming and yelling you can't help but sort of physicalize things. The next day I'm usually sore in some weird part of my body.

I'd like to extend my career a little bit into different genres.

The person that always comes to mind, and it's odd now because we've become pals, is Ben Folds. I've always considered him like a musical older brother, from afar, in the sense that I always felt I had a much better understanding of what he was singing about five years after I was listening to it.

One of my oldest friends from Kansas, his sister was married to Ben [Folds] and wrote lyrics on his first couple of albums. I got to meet him the first time I saw them in concert at The Bottleneck, a great bar in Lawrence, Kansas. Then, he was the musical guest my first or second week as a writer on SNL. I was like, "I don't know if you remember me?" And he was like, "Oh my god, yeah!" He's a big photography fan, as am I.

Being polite and grateful will make people more inclined to help you. And if people are willing to help you, you may accidentally get something you want.

Each experience I go through - marriage, my public life, my personal life - I'm learning as I go.

Now Ben Folds is my photography older brother. He was kind enough to give me a photo of his for my 40th birthday.
