So many people are in comedy because of difficult mothers or broken homes.

I feel like it's a golden age for television.

I used to tour a little bit with Jim Carrey and help him out on his first Showtime special.

I was bad at sports and picked last every day. I couldn't quite figure out what my role was in the social order, so I decided I was interested in comedy. And what was then interesting was, nobody else was interested in it at all. I didn't find one friend who was interested in comedy until I moved to California and met other comedians. And suddenly I knew hundreds of people who knew as much about SCTV as I did. But it took me 20 years to find those people.

For a long time, TV was just the land of handsome, beautiful people, and now it's the opposite.

I get literally a physical sensation of low self-esteem that is a result of not engaging the world and getting comfortable that way.

I test the movies a lot, and if the audience says they love the movie, we know we're on the right track. And if they tell me they hate it, I try to figure out what I've done wrong. But every time out, the audience wants me to go deeper, they want to know more about the characters, and they don't want these movies to be shallow. So they really urge me to tell them a complicated story, and then when I do so, they're thrilled
