It's fun to play the type of people you dislike.

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.

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

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.

[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.

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.

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.
