“One of the nice things about being busy is it makes you focus on what's important to you and how you use your time.”

“Sometimes the wheel turns slowly, but it turns.”

“You can't be perfect for 90 minutes.”

“The show doesn’t go on because it’s ready it goes on because it’s 11:30.”

“The only show I ever really wanted to do was 'SNL.' It was some sort of merging of my talent and my metabolism. It suited who I am and what I do really well, though whatever I was thinking it was, it kept mutating and growing. At first, I didn't even know that the cast would be the thing everybody talked about. We thought it would be the hosts.”

“All babies are ugly unless they're your baby.”
