films school
I started making little short films with friends, and then I decided I wanted to get into the school play in high school.
I remember being unbelievable bummed when 'Freaks and Geeks' was canceled.

I met Robin Williams a few times, and he was a beautiful guy.
dramas love
I love comedy, but it's dramas that stick with me.
kate move somebody
I like watching Kate McKinnon do something - there's a joy in seeing a new move from somebody and going, 'Oh, she can do that.'
gave hated pitch terrible
I hated pitch meetings. Pitch meetings were my least favorite part of the week. I just gave up. I was so terrible at them.
I had a small part in 'Pineapple Express.'
grew life mom sisters surrounded women
I grew up with my two sisters and my mom, so it's my lot in life to be surrounded by women.

I - at the table reads, I break constantly. If something is up there that I'm not expecting, I tend to - I can't help myself; I'll start laughing.
good specific
Good directors give short and specific instructions to their actors.
bad
Going to any loud place is terrible for me. I'm bad at loud restaurants.
amazing
Getting 'SNL' was pretty amazing, so just to be able to have an eight-year career there and be really happy with everything I did, it was pretty big.

When you saw Jon Lovitz or Dana Carvey or Phil Hartman doing something, they were acting. It was real acting. Like, they were acting like that person. They weren't like - it wasn't even like they were really trying to go for a laugh, especially in Phil Hartman's case.
branches connecting couple grid people worked
'Vanity Fair' did this grid thing a couple years ago, connecting people who've worked together, and I had the most branches on it or whatever, because I'd worked with so-and-so and so-and-so worked with so-and-so, and I was kind of in the middle.
