When I was at Upright Citizens Brigade, I would pretend to be a sad, drunk rapper.

I was a bartender at a Pizzeria Uno's for nine years. The people I worked with were amazing, but it was quite possibly the most miserable time of my life.

I steal props from SNL a great deal. Almost every sketch Im in, I try to grab something from it, so I have a storage space full of props.

My mom makes something called green pie, which I thought was a delicacy that many people only had at Thanksgiving, but it turns out it was just Jell-O with whipped cream on it. And it's delicious.

In my mind, not in real life. My rap name will be Optimus Rhymes. Or the Notorious B.o.B.

These days with the web, you can burn out a character really quick.

Me, Billy Crystal and John Goodman hang out non-stop, and all we do is silly voices. We hang out in a little closet and do voices together.

If you watched 'Lost,' sometimes the episodes were crazy good and sometimes you're like, "That one was just sorta there."

I'm not very big on politics. I'm a comedian and not that smart. I don't have the mind capacity for it.

I'm very wary with impressions - I don't think I'm very good at impressions, I hate doing them.

I'm very bad with music. I don't know any new music. I've listened to the same 10 or 12 albums my whole life.

We all draw a little and compose a little, and none of us have any idea of time or money.

One of the benefits of playing to small audiences in small clubs for a few years is that you're allowed to fail.

Waiting is a dry desert between where we are and where we want to be. (Finding My Way Home)

In adversity be spirited and firm, and with equal prudence lessen your sail when filled with a too fortunate gale of prosperity.

I'm secure in who I am. I don't need the validation of those that would say, you have to be a certain thing in order to be accepted. I'm comfortable going against the grain if I need to.

If our country has to reach its economic goals, it cannot happen with half its population shut behind doors.

Democracy tends to be a collaborative process, a committee, a consensus.

Legislation won't necessarily start a riot. But the right song can make someone pick up a chair.

In all things there is a kind of law of cycles. [Lat., Rebus cunctis inest quidam velut orbis.]

If I call it pain, and try to touch it With my hands, my own life, It lies still and the music thins, A pulse felt for through garments.
