I like to remind myself how hard acting is. I do parts in friends' stuff.

The easiest time to be funny is during a fairly serious situation. That way, you can break the ice. It's crazy, but even at funerals, people will get huge laughs.

I gotta say - if I clicked on a movie interview, and the first part was all about Walt Whitman, I'd love that article.

I'm a huge hip hop fan going way back, like, back to '83. I had my Gemini mixer listening to Run-DMC and Kurtis Blow.

The key is a good story. If you have a good story, you have enough emotional beats that you can hit.

You're not a slave to those test audiences.

You need the audience to go on the ride with you. You can't just isolate them.

I think everyone knows the news has become ridiculous. It's entertainment driven.

First off, no one award-wise ever rewards comedy, which is... whatever. I don't care about that.

I'll tell you one thing... no doubt about it, my favorite kind of comedy is talking head comedy. I mean, if it were up to me, I'd do a whole entire movie that was just around a dinner table.

For 'Breaking Bad,' people were with Walter White for 99% of that show, even though that guy is a monster.

I think when a lot of actors hear improv, they think of throwing a line in or doing a slightly different take.

Having a guy on a microphone yelling lines at you is counter to a lot of acting techniques.

I want to see Brian Williams with no irony wearing a mustache.

Everything in America is so stratified by class now. We have the 93rd level of income inequality in the world. You're already seeing highway lanes that are for pay and ones that aren't.

Sequels are desperate.

'Blazing Saddles' is one of the funniest movies ever made.

When you do comedy, you get impervious to good and bad reviews.

Wal-Mart is the biggest distributor of DVDs out there, but personally, I think their manufacturing policies have destroyed our economy, and they don't pay their employees enough. I have massive problems with them.

Friends give me a hard time about the pants I'm wearing, which are made in China. Well, how do you find the right clothes? Or the right movie studio? The right people giving you checks? Good luck doing the right thing all the time.

When I was at 'SNL,' I would constantly get in arguments, 'Why aren't we more political? We're not going after Bush.' Then look what happened - that Sarah Palin season, they were on fire. It was about something.

I was shocked when 'The Hobbit' ended where it ended. I wasn't paying attention to what they were doing; I didn't know they had another movie, and I couldn't believe it was when the dragon came out.

When the movie starts playing on TV and DVD, that's when you really see what the movie is.

You have to be able to fail with the improv. You have to not care.
