bunch
Richard Grieco once asked for a bunch of M&M's
school night long
When I got to Saturday Night Live, it was a lot like going from pre-school to Harvard, and it took a long time to figure stuff out.
writing wells accord
I always felt better co-writing something - always co-writing. Because if I was the lead of it and it failed, then it failed on my own accord. I would say, "Well, I liked it or I screwed up. I take the hit on this one."
song eagles documentaries
I'm not a fan of the Eagles, but I've watched their documentary numerous times and everyone who's watched it with me has sung along to the songs, much to my dismay.
cereal cooks i-can
I can't cook. I can barely make a bowl of cereal.
writing want actors
I was into writing and directing. I was a bit of a reluctant actor. I would always ask friends to shoot or direct their movies, but then they'd want me to be in them.
sports growing-up oklahoma
Growing up in Oklahoma, there wasn't much to do. Play sports, do a lot of drugs, or read and watch movies, which is what I did.
play differences animated
I would say the biggest difference is that you're just in a studio by yourself when you're making an animated movie. You don't have anybody to play off of.
guy needs wigs
I remember getting in the elevator for my audition and there was a guy next to me who had a backpack full of props and wigs and things, and I went, 'Oh, my God, that guy is so prepared, I have nothing, I have no props.' And that was Andy Samberg. And Andy Samberg said he was looking at me going, 'Oh, that guy has no props. He doesn't need props.' And that was the first time we met, was in that elevator.
people television enough
Oddly enough, I have really bad stage fright - getting up in front of people. And I made a living going on live television.
dad kids embarrassed
My kids, they're always embarrassed when my voice shows up in something. I took them to Inside Out, and my voice comes in, and they were like, "Ugh, Dad, what are you doing? Get out of there."
dark thinking people
A lot of times I think people, when they're doing a movie that's a family movie, they're worried about this being too esoteric or too dark or too weird.
thinking forgiving able
If you can't forgive yourself, you think you're never going to be able to forgive yourself.
character italian names
I really enjoyed playing Vinny Vedecci, the Italian talk show host. He was the first character I ever came up with where I gave him a name and a way of dressing.
