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.
thinking forgiving able
If you can't forgive yourself, you think you're never going to be able to forgive yourself.
thinking
My dad's from there, and I have relatives there, but I don't think I've been to Chicago since I was like 9.
mistake stupid thinking
No one knows anything. You're going to make mistakes and you're going to do things that people think are stupid. You can't sit there and go, "I never want to make a mistake."
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.
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.
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.'
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.'
