Roxanne came along in '86, when I was doing a lot of stand-up. I auditioned for the movie, and of course I was a huge Steve Martin fan, so I really hoped I would get this part. I don't think there was any part in particular that I auditioned for. I just went in and talked with them. There were so many parts in there, and so many comedians ended up getting in that movie, playing different firemen and townspeople.

I really like to read when I'm eating - 'The New York Times' or the 'Wall Street Journal,' paper version.

I grew up watching stand-ups and thought it was so entertaining and unique - you didn’t see that as a job description anywhere.

'The Outer Limits' was one of those shows I grew up watching - that and The 'Twilight Zone.'

I think I sent out some résumés for marketing jobs, and they all came back in the mail because I didn't have enough postage.

Me and Conan O'Brien and Robert Smigel and Dana Carvey wrote a script called 'Hans and Franz: The Girlyman Dilemma,' and it was going to be co-produced with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and he was going to co-star in it. We had a deal with Sony, we got paid to write it, and it was a musical, but it never got made because...I think Arnold kind of backed out at the last minute because he was getting cold feet because ;The Last Action Hero' had come out, where he was parodying himself. But it was a really funny script, and I wish it could've seen the light, because I think it would've done really well.

I have a wandering eye and a lazy eye so they cancel each other out. It's a push.
