I went to a couple Academy Awards parties and I was definitely like, 'Whoa, no one will talk to me.'

I love to musicalize things. You do employ a whole level of gravity. You use the emotional heft of music.

When you reach that deeper level, you can't go back.

If you're working with a band and you really want to work them into the episode, you've got to say to them, "Look, we need you around every day and on Tuesday night all night because we need you to do voices as we're changing stuff." We do the show so quickly, and you just can't get bands to do that. It's not really fair.

Anything you do to lose weight should be as easy as it can possibly be and still deliver results.

I've been to China and Russia, and I don't know anything about Chinese or Soviet relations.

It is like football with coaches, like, 'We're only going to think about the next game.' It is really true, all you think is, 'Okay, we have to make a good next episode.'
