Especially with Facebook and Instagram and Twitter, I can't tell necessarily the nitty gritty of what you're really up to. I'm just seeing the performance of all the work you're doing and the look you're giving; it's very hard to get to the center. It's very hard to see what's what.
My mom worked tirelessly on getting equal rights for women.
I use a method approach to all my sitcom work.
My mom's brother was gay, and he actually passed away from AIDS when I was 13. He was quite a character, but he also worked at the electrical plant, so he was this complicated guy with a big laugh who would wear a trucker hat and do impressions. He was gay, but to me, Uncle Alan was just the funniest person in the world.
I've started meditating, but I do have a quick temper.
Even before I got on 'SNL' I assumed I would do some type of sitcom; I kind of thought that was how I would start. I don't mean to sound arrogant - I just thought I would be best suited to the form.
There's a creative freedom with being under the radar. But I guess if you're too under the radar, you get canceled?
Both my parents were working in politics when I was growing up, so going on stage was not that great a leap.
I've met architects before, and they're not living the life we see on TV.
Somewhere along the way, I think I realised that taking yourself seriously is the worst thing that you can do in life, so once I let that go, I've just let it all go. I have no standard of personal dignity.
The alternative comedy scene is actually pretty small, I guess.
So many shows don't have laugh tracks now that, when you hear it, it can be slightly jarring.
My dad would write these sketches for me while I was at 'SNL.'
My goal is to generate more material for myself.
