“When I was a kid, I was super shy.”

“I didn't originally intend on writing a book. I started writing during the day to feel like I was accomplishing something creative.”

“I had always wanted to be on SNL, it's not always great, but it's this leftover childhood dream.”

“All I remember is the last time I played a videogame, it was Space Invaders.”

“I did Second City, and Nia Vardalos also did Second City, so I knew her from there.”

“Well, I've claimed to have seen two ghosts in a hotel room.”

“I don't really consider myself an impressionist.”

“And you know when I was growing up, I knew I wanted to have kids, but I knew I didn't want to do it alone. Then once I was 41, 42, I had to accept that I probably wouldn't have kids unless I decided to adopt later on, but even then it would be with a partner.”

“I remember watching Gilda Radner when I was a kid and everyone thought she was so funny and no one ever said that she was a funny woman, she was just funny.”

“I never wanted to be that person who leaves 'SNL' and nothing happens.”

“When I was little, we used to have Atari.”

“I did some acting in high school, I knew I really liked it.”

“Personally, I don't even read bummer news stories about the environment because it makes me feel helpless to fix anything and reminds me that the general population doesn't treat these issues as an important part of our political life.”
