someday south
Someday maybe I'll go back and see what the Deep South is like.
relax stuff not-happy
I can't relax. I'm not happy unless I'm working on stuff. 'SNL' is always a huge workload, as enjoyable as it is.
obsessed weird-things grows
I'm obsessed with my 20s. I buy things that I wanted in my 20s. It's weird; it's a weird thing that I didn't grow out of.
jobs faces fans
That smile on Stive Jobs face ... My impersonation came from being a fan.
coffee oregon people
When I first started going to Portland, people told me about Stumptown. They were like 'Oh, it's the best coffee,'and I thought, 'How good could it really be?' I'm like, 'Sure, great, uh... I'd love to see it.' But then when I went, it truly, I am not kidding, is the best coffee I have ever had.
jobs sense-of-humor mets
I met Steve Jobs once. In '06? He had a sense of humor.
night thinking saturday
I tend to think that there is a sophistication to everything at 'Saturday Night Live,' including the sketches.
nice proud kind
Chalkboards being used inside the restaurant seem to be a good sign that the proprietors are proud of their food, and that's kind of nice, actually - it's a nice personal touch.
night people complaining
I spent a lot of time lifting my drums into a van, playing to ten people night after night. I can't complain about anything now.
nice night people
I love 'Saturday Night Live,' and I really feel like people who have left before me have always stayed with the show. They never really quite left, which is nice. Everyone kind of stays close.
night people guy
I enjoy getting to work on 'Saturday Night Live', where I get to do people like David Paterson. And then, its like a different muscle to do someone like a bicycle guy on' Portlandia'.
night feelings stuff
I came away from 'Saturday Night Live' feeling very well represented. I felt, and I still feel like, they let me do so much stuff that I wanted to do. Stuff that I almost didn't even know what it was.
missing soldier sound
I don't miss anything ever. Because to me, missing something is like going backward a little bit. I don't miss being in a punk band. For me, 'SNL' is like... this is gonna sound overly dramatic, but... the way I am, it feels like I'm a soldier, so it was like, 'What do you want me to do? Put me anywhere. Do you want me to do these sketches? Great.'
country hate rivalry
The day of parts of the country hating each other, or rivalries like that... I feel like that's dead.
