experience fact hiring kept mistake people realize
I was always self-conscious about the fact that I didn't have as much comedy experience as other people at 'SNL,' and I kept thinking they were going to realize they'd made a mistake by hiring me.
good
You can be the lead in a movie just for the sake of being a lead in a movie, or you can just be in a good movie.
When you're at your absolute, most exhausted... That's when you have to be at the top of your game.
bad
When I met Judd Apatow, he told me I should start writing screenplays. They'd be really bad at first, but the more I did it, the better I'd get.
people
When 'MacGruber' came out, David Wain was one of the first people who publicly championed it.
change lists ten
Top Ten lists make me insane. I just know they're going to change daily.
To be honest, I don't know how comedy works.
good
There's a movie called 'Pod People' that has a weird little anteater alien. That was a good alien.
funny women
There are some really funny women at 'SNL,' man.
animated hard line movies
The whole thing with animated movies is that it's very hard to get out of your head because it's very moving through each line systematically.
watched
'The State' was a huge thing for me. I watched that and 'SNL' together when I was 15, 16.
james met time
The first time I met James Franco, he was dressed like James Dean. He was James Dean, literally, filming a biopic.
acted glass high shakespeare time
The first time I ever acted was in 'The Glass Menagerie' in high school, and my first line was, 'I didn't know Shakespeare had a sister.'
funny
Pete Davidson - he's in the movie 'Trainwreck.' He has a small part in it. I told Lorne Michaels about him, said he was really funny.
