people television enough
Oddly enough, I have really bad stage fright - getting up in front of people. And I made a living going on live television.
dark thinking people
A lot of times I think people, when they're doing a movie that's a family movie, they're worried about this being too esoteric or too dark or too weird.
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.'
comedy love people terms
I'm never going to say, 'Well, I'm never going to do comedy again.' I love comedies, and it's what people know me for, so I love doing it... I don't really think about it in terms of 'Well, I should do this because it's comedy or drama.'
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.
people
I learned a lot just watching people perform.
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.
people
When 'MacGruber' came out, David Wain was one of the first people who publicly championed it.
fourth people until
I would say it wasn't until my fourth season on 'SNL' where people or my agent was saying, 'You're an actor.' I never thought of it that way.
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.
crossed people wanna
People ask me, 'Did you always want to be on SNL?' No, actually, it never crossed my mind. It didn't even seem possible. It would've been like saying, 'Hey, do you wanna go to the moon?'
assume funny people ten
It is funny that people always assume you have a bigger part in a movie than you actually do. I remember a lot of people thought 'Adventureland' starred me and Kristen Wiig. But we were like, 'No, we're only in the movie for like ten minutes!'
adult chance comic fan fulfilling people swim voice work
If I get a chance to write a comic book or do a voice in an Adult Swim show, I do it. It's much more fulfilling to me and I get to work with people who I'm a fan of.
