We all grew up in that era. I'm a little younger than these guys [Will Forte and John Solomon], but I would say all of us are huge fans of the original "MacGyver" series, and obviously we found that inspiration for the original pitch for MacGruber. We took his name and made it stupid. In terms of the inspiration for the movie, that really came from our love for late '80s/early '90s action movies - the whole "Lethal Weapon" series and "Rambo" and "Die Hard," every single [Arnold] Schwarzenegger and [Sylvester] Stallone film.

My life is littered with bad decisions.

You can do anything to my food and I'll still eat it.

I think the advantage we had with "MacGruber" is the speed we had to put it together. We had a such a short period to write the movie and such a post-[production] period, it was almost like the way that the show worked, where everything is happening so fast you have to go with your gut.

When I was a kid watching "The Blues Brothers," I could not think of a better thing than watching 300 cop cars crash into each other.

When certain people hear "'SNL' comedy," rightfully so, you expect it to be a certain kind of goofiness.

I feel like all my faults go into making the person that I am. I like myself as a person. And I think taking any fault away would change who I am as a person.
