floyd grew
I grew up in a total Pink Floyd house.
scripts
I have a lot of incomplete short films and incomplete scripts out there.
brothers craig directed great luke played produced skeleton straight
I just did this movie with Kristin Wiig called 'The Skeleton Twins.' That's a straight drama. We play estranged twins, and I end up moving in with her and her husband, played by Luke Wilson. But it's a drama, and the Duplass Brothers produced it and this great guy, Craig Johnson, directed it. And that was great, you know?
along deserted honeymoon lone love middle sitting turks walking walks wife
My wife and I were on our honeymoon in Turks and Caicos, in the middle of nowhere, and I'm sitting on this deserted beach, and I see one lone person walking along the shore. He walks right up to me and says, 'I love 'Laser Cats,' and then just walks away.
alone hard single
'SNL' is really hard to do when you're single and living alone. And then it's pretty tough when you're married, because you don't see your spouse.
good
David Sedaris is so good that it makes me mad.
Before you get to 'SNL,' you have your own sensibility. And when you get to 'SNL,' it's the show's sensibility.
cast full meeting michaels
At the beginning of each week at 'Saturday Night Live,' we have a full cast meeting where Lorne Michaels introduces the upcoming host.
playing
When you're performing, you're playing to the back row. With acting, you have to be more nuanced.
people work
When people tell you what doesn't work, they're usually right. When they tell you how to fix it, they're usually wrong.
nature
The nature of 'SNL' is that it's so in-the-moment.
One of the reasons I started working at 'South Park,' actually, was that I wanted to learn how to structure things and how to tell a story.
I like when you are telling a story and fall into an impression.
al call calls constantly good home james restaurant voices wife
Voices are a good way to get in and out of things. James Carville constantly calls my wife to say I'll be home late. Mandy Patinkin and Al Pacino call to get me restaurant reservations.
