“Anybody can have any opinion they want to, as long as it's an informed opinion.”
“I think there are people that don't think 'SNL' should make movies because sketches don't translate. Sometimes they don't, but sometimes they do.”
“The older I get, the more grays are popping out. They're definitely all over my beard.”
“Right before 'Nebraska,' I went to Ireland to do this little movie called 'Run & Jump.' It was so far away from home, I felt a real safety to explore a different kind of role. I loved how it turned out.”
“Definitely, I did not, after 'SNL,' say, 'OK, first I'll go be in Alexander Payne's movie.' I thought I might go back to writing, to be honest.”
“I cannot pull off a mustache. It's like threading a needle, because most of the time, I'll look like a complete idiot.”
“The Emmys are in good hands with Andy Samberg. Disgusting, dirty hands.”
“There are all kinds of people who I watch and marvel at. Just so many. I'll watch something and go, 'Could I ever have done that?'”
“I'm not used to people watching the stuff that I do.”
“I don't do a lot of strategizing, career-wise. I was approached by Chris and Phil, the guys who did 'The Lego Movie.' They gave me my first job on 'Clone High.' We've been friends forever, and they asked me if I wanted to write something with them.”
“I loved 'The Jerk.' That was my favorite movie.”
“My track record suggests that I'm not quite a mainstream darling, that's for sure. I don't want to only cater to a small audience, but it's just kind of worked out that way.”
“I don't really have much of a skin care routine. I take a shower every day, but I don't wash my face before I go to bed or anything. I'll try every once in a while to put some moisturizer on my face. In fact, I would probably have better skin if I was religious about it, but I'm not.”
“Certainly there were so many different people I had as heroes growing up. Steve Martin is always my number one. David Letterman's show, that was important. And 'Saturday Night Live,' obviously.”
“I just love the people I work with so much, you know. It's an embarrassment of riches to get to work with Kristen Schaal and Mel Rodriguez and Mary Steenburgen and Boris Kodjoe and Cleopatra Coleman and January Jones, but then to get to bring Jason Sudeikis into the mix, you know, we're like brothers from all that time we spent together.”
“I feel like all my faults go into making the person that I am. I like myself as a person. And I think taking any fault away would change who I am as a person.”
“I'm kind of under the radar. Not a lot of people notice me. Which is surprising, because I'm so sexy. They're probably intimidated by my sexiness and crushability.”
“I'm an optimist, and I'll stay in situations for much longer than I should, just thinking that they'll work themselves out.”
“I like to keep my personal life private. I did read one of those stories, and it made it seem like just because I don't go out and I'm not the subject of tabloid photography, I've never had a relationship in my life, like if a relationship isn't documented by a picture, it doesn't exist. I don't want to talk about it.”
“I try to be a good person - I don't always succeed, but that's what I'm shooting for.”
