I was just a lot smarter about not getting caught. I mean, I never stuck anything in my arm, but I certainly enjoyed my youth.
Everyone is pretty upbeat about it, actually, ... The last thing we wanted to happen was to overstay our welcome and tarnish the experience and prestige of the show.
It was a great run and it's great that the network didn't cancel us outright, and they're letting us do five more where we can wrap up a lot of story arcs.
Only one in every four people under 35 voted in the last election and Gore still won. So if we get more young people to vote, we can get the landslide we deserve and we could really reap the benefits of what John Kerry stands for.
Starting at age 10, my personality and my identity all stemmed from employment. I had a set to be at. I was a certain way with the cameraman, a certain way with the makeup lady - a normal, routine environment.
The comedy community is very friendly right now. I think that's why you see all the synergy and people doing each other's movies.
I have a tendency to evolve into William Shatner, with my big fat face.
I love a massage. I'd go every day if I could. I don't need to be wrapped in herbs like a salmon fillet, but I do love a massage.

Marathons are good training goals.
I really enjoy playing that everyman part because that part is us, the audience. And you need somebody inside a comedy to tether the absurdity to reality.
I actually enjoyed changing diapers and I enjoyed swaddling. I don't mind being swaddled either, on occasion.
