writing people wish
I wish I was one of those people who could write script after script and pages and pages. I can only aspire to do that.
mom father venezuela
My father came from Germany. My mom came from Venezuela. My father's culturally German, but his father was Japanese.
I'm a fan of Talking Heads going way back.
kind
Just a lot of those bands [like The Blue Jean Committee] started off in blues, and then they all transformed into other kinds.
If someone can write great music... Paul McCartney is a genius. He's so prolific. All we should do is bow down to Paul McCartney.
song emotional
If there is a blues song, it just goes in one ear and out the other. But other than that, if it stays with you and when we are all 90, we're going to look back at those songs, and it's going to be emotional. And when someone plays it, and you know it, and you're going to go, "I know that song and I love it."
"Macarena" is a great song. If music is something you can remember - the worst crime music can do is to be forgettable.
someday south
Someday maybe I'll go back and see what the Deep South is like.
new-york years two
I was raised in New York and spent two years in Rio. My parents met at the University of Southern Mississippi, and they had me there, and then we moved to New York. I'm not very familiar with Mississippi.
night thinking saturday
I tend to think that there is a sophistication to everything at 'Saturday Night Live,' including the sketches.
thinking ideas trying
I have an inability to relax. I try to make every day a work day. I get pleasure from work... I try to think of sketch ideas, stand-up pieces. I am incapable of leisure and leisure time.
nice night people
I love 'Saturday Night Live,' and I really feel like people who have left before me have always stayed with the show. They never really quite left, which is nice. Everyone kind of stays close.
husband thinking terrible
I think I was a terrible husband, I think I'm a terrible boyfriend.
country hate rivalry
The day of parts of the country hating each other, or rivalries like that... I feel like that's dead.
