I have always had eclectic obsessions: astrophysics, music theory, the Mongol empire and its history, and the history of the Silk Road, to name a few.
I have no skills. I'm bad at most things.
I admire my boss, Lorne Michaels. He never stops producing. I think, for him, comedy is a tool of compassion, a way of rallying people together and saying, 'Guys, isn't the world bonkers? Aren't we all just trying our best?' There's a tenderness in everything he does.
I've been a big astrophysics nut since I was 12. I have always had a real soft spot for the bizarreness of quantum mechanics. But I gave up on being a scientist in high school - I'm just not that good at math.
A good impression is sort of a juxtaposition of disparate elements.
I like to connect with people and suss them out. There's no better way than seeing how they react if you just bear into them.
For 'Ghostbusters,' the thing that makes it such an amazing franchise and an amazing idea is that it is adds the element of physics and technology. It's not just about ghosts. Who the heck came up with that? It is such a good idea, such a unique combination of stuff from different genres. Ghosts and sci fi.
It's such an insult that foul gas comes out of a hole in our butt with a sound to announce itself. It's the ultimate bad thing about being a person.
I was an umpire at little league softball games. I only lasted a few games because I wasn't one hundred percent clear on all the rules.
I just like playing unique characters that I love.
My cat does this thing where he's so happy to see me that he repeatedly smashes his face into my face and purrs like a literal pig.
If I had Instagram, it would be pictures of my son, who is a cat.
I started watching 'SNL' when I was thirteen or so; those were the Molly Shannon/Ana Gasteyer/Cheri Oteri years.
To be employed in the entertainment industry is a miracle.
'SNL' can be a stressful environment, and I am panicking constantly, but I guess I keep it pretty internal.
Even if you're an angry, intense person, you also have to have intense joy about life and intense feelings about the world.
If I had my druthers, I would be a brain in a jar, with a burlap skirt around the cart I'm on - I don't attend to my physical being much.
I've been told I'm a little bit eccentric.
I hope to be on 'SNL' as long as they'll let me.
Nothing makes me laugh more than farting.
