Nobody knows how long you're going to have life on Earth, so you really have to work at being joyous and happy.

I don't want to do something, if I don't feel like I can do a good job serving the material.

I've definitely read stuff that I've been offered, where I've been like, "I can't do this. I think somebody would be better in this than me."

Sometimes a fan comes up to me, and I'm really interested in how they're acting, so I'll study them and use that in my material.

In real life, I always look at people and how they walk, or how they carry themselves. I think about the body a lot, in performance.

When I was on 'Saturday Night Live,' all I did was work.

The clothes, the shoes, the gold belts and the necklaces always click me into the character, for sure. You could not feel the character, and then you put on the shoes and get the walk.
