- For me, honestly, one of the first movies I did I was always pounding coffee, and I crashed so horribly. So I've kind of weaned myself off. You keep getting second and third winds. But for me, I've stopped doing energy drinks or any kind of stimulant. I just kind of go natural.
- No one will ever be as good as Phil Hartman. He was such an amazing genius, and may be the best sketch performer of all time.
- Improv kind of goes hand in hand with what I do. I was on 'Reno 911!' for six years, and that was a completely improvised show.
- If you want to be a comedian, go out. Do a week in Des Moines, Iowa. Try to make those people laugh.
- Comedy is so subjective, you know what I mean? To sit there and technically pick it apart is so stupid.
