I don't need to see the old school to remember it and the teachers there. They changed the way that I've always looked at life and learning.

When I first started out acting, I didn't have anything to lose. I had another career. If I fell on my face, I could say, 'I'll see ya,' and go back to working.

I think my high-school acting career lasted a day.

You really have to act on the force, too. You're involved in a hundred things a day, and you have to react in a hundred different ways, depending on what's going on. And you learn that as you go through your career, how you handle certain situations, interrogations, how you carry yourself. There's a kind of acting to it.

In comedy, it's not the glamorous, beautiful people that are great at comedy. They're either every man or every woman, they're either quite tall and lanky or shorter and fatter or have a big nose. They have something physically about them that makes them into a comic stereotype.

I love comedy, but I was just obsessed with 'SNL' growing up.

Stand-up comics reflect less of a visual humor and more of a commentary.

Self-deprecating humor and brutal honesty is a really freeing thing.
