Even when I go do comedy stuff live, I can still feel the drummer in me about to go onstage.
It was like, here comes a joke. Here's the joke. I just told a joke!
I think it comes off better on stage.
happy knowing later
I know I'm going to be happy way later in the future, knowing that's the way I conducted myself.
mean people dying
I loved our [music] discussion. I live for discussions like that. It's my favorite thing because it means that people care about music, and actually have an opinion. I feel like it's dying. Everyone is just really like, they take a step back, but to actually have conviction about what's good and bad: love it.
jobs faces fans
That smile on Stive Jobs face ... My impersonation came from being a fan.
jobs sense-of-humor mets
I met Steve Jobs once. In '06? He had a sense of humor.
night people complaining
I spent a lot of time lifting my drums into a van, playing to ten people night after night. I can't complain about anything now.
divorce two lucky
Everyone goes through all kinds of relationship situations. I'm lucky that I get to be on two comedy shows [during divorce].
nice names people
People are always nice, so I can't complain. My name used to be SNL! More and more, people call me by my name.
chicago inspired
I lived in Chicago, but the music I was inspired by was from D. C.
comedy
I started comedy in like 1998.
thinking
The more I keep myself occupied and jump from thing to thing, the more I think it enriches both.
people details attention
I like it when people are driven. I love that in any field of work, in architecture or whatever. Like Lorne Michaels - he pays attention to every detail.
