scripts
I have a lot of incomplete short films and incomplete scripts out there.
money sketch
I was in a sketch group in L.A., and we were playing, like, backyards in Glendale and stuff. It was pretty ugly because we didn't have any money.
I was at Second City L.A., going through the conservatory, and I graduated in 2004 and I got 'SNL' in 2005.
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.
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.
school night long
When I got to Saturday Night Live, it was a lot like going from pre-school to Harvard, and it took a long time to figure stuff out.
bunch
Richard Grieco once asked for a bunch of M&M's
writing wells accord
I always felt better co-writing something - always co-writing. Because if I was the lead of it and it failed, then it failed on my own accord. I would say, "Well, I liked it or I screwed up. I take the hit on this one."
song eagles documentaries
I'm not a fan of the Eagles, but I've watched their documentary numerous times and everyone who's watched it with me has sung along to the songs, much to my dismay.
cereal cooks i-can
I can't cook. I can barely make a bowl of cereal.
writing want actors
I was into writing and directing. I was a bit of a reluctant actor. I would always ask friends to shoot or direct their movies, but then they'd want me to be in them.
sports growing-up oklahoma
Growing up in Oklahoma, there wasn't much to do. Play sports, do a lot of drugs, or read and watch movies, which is what I did.
play differences animated
I would say the biggest difference is that you're just in a studio by yourself when you're making an animated movie. You don't have anybody to play off of.
guy needs wigs
I remember getting in the elevator for my audition and there was a guy next to me who had a backpack full of props and wigs and things, and I went, 'Oh, my God, that guy is so prepared, I have nothing, I have no props.' And that was Andy Samberg. And Andy Samberg said he was looking at me going, 'Oh, that guy has no props. He doesn't need props.' And that was the first time we met, was in that elevator.
