Quotes
It's of course Conan, who imitates me. He's got the speed, I have the mileage. (He is often compared to the talk show host Conan O'Brien because of their physical similarity and razor sharp wit. Even though O'Brien is older, Sander has a longer career, appearing regularly on the television since the age of seven.)
