family life mostly moved since
My life is different since I moved back to L.A. from New York, mostly because I have a family and I don't go out.
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.
chilling dramatic films home life private watch work
To be honest, I watch way more dramatic films when I'm chilling at home. I think when you work in comedy, you just want something different in your private life. Makes you feel balanced, I guess.
assistant department editor life post reported surreal
I was a production assistant in the post department on 'The Surreal Life.' And it's been reported before that I was an assistant editor on 'The Surreal Life.' That is not true.
fall feeling learned life moment time tried worked
I think that's the thing I learned at 'Saturday Night Live' - any time I would try and strategize, I would always, always fall on my face. Things worked out when I tried to make it about what I was feeling at that moment and what I was into in that moment of my life.
dialogue life line save straight time watch
If you watch 'SNL,' any time there's this thing with everyone singing, I'm, like, the one person who just has a straight line of dialogue because I can't sing to save my life.
anderson filmmaker moved paul thomas
I moved out to L.A. to be a filmmaker or director. I didn't even think about doing comedy or even acting. I wanted to be like Paul Thomas Anderson or Wes Anderson, but I wasn't going to a lot of comedy.
forget move original
When you move to L.A. or New York, it's easy to get a little lost and forget your original goal.
I was at Second City L.A., going through the conservatory, and I graduated in 2004 and I got 'SNL' in 2005.
good liked trains
I really liked John Candy in 'Planes, Trains & Automobiles.' He was so good in that movie.
actual definitely great group heard saying
In the U.S., it's like, you start with a great script, and then on set - not everybody, but definitely in the Apatow group - you go off, and you're improvising on camera. So while you're on camera, you're saying things that no one else has ever heard before during the actual take.
far
As far as post-'SNL' career, whatever kind of comes my way that looks interesting, I'll do it, you know?
compare learn people quickly trouble
You learn quickly at 'SNL' you get in trouble if you compare yourself to other people, where they're at, or what other people had done before you.
people telling
You know what, I remember being on my T-ball team and telling people about 'Platoon.'
