Back in college, I remember shooting stupid videos with my friends. It would be us going around town in capes pretending we were superheroes.
I'm a comedian first. I've learned how to act. I just draw on life experiences and that's how I've learned. I didn't take classes or anything. I don't need no classroom.
My best memories growing up are of putting on musicals with my mom and dad, Both of them are real hams; it was like vaudeville in East Hampton.
Hanging out with comics, all they did was make fun of me.
I was the center square on Hollywood Squares for about fifteen weeks.
I was imagining films in my head and trying to gather friends together to make movies since I was a kid. I tried to do comedy skits and a horror film.
I'll make fun of anybody. We're all about falling down and going boom on camera.
Will Ferrell is a dangerous man. If he thinks you're in his way in show business, he will crack your head open. He's the Jeff Gillooly of comedy.
When I first set out to ruin SNL, I didn't think anyone would notice, but I persevered because - like you trying to do a nine-piece jigsaw puzzle - it was a labour of love.
My friends and I often film videos when we get together and hang out, and they're usually just silly situational videos just for our own amusement.
Comedy is not my world. It's difficult for me, but sometimes you just have to go with it and have a good time.
I don't necessarily know much about comedy, I don't spend a lot of time watching it. Mainly because all my life for about 50 years I've had comedy.
I grew up watching comedy. It was among all the geeky things that I did.
Comedians have the ability to feel other emotions.
You know, I'm a big comedy fan.
When certain people hear "'SNL' comedy," rightfully so, you expect it to be a certain kind of goofiness.
I just loved comedy as a kid and I think at some point, it just occurred to me that you could try it, and I did.
Peyton Manning is funny, hence the 'Saturday Night Live'; you see him in his commercials. He's funny.
I never really thought of myself as a physical comedian. But when I was a kid, I used to, you know, pretend to trip over things to make girls laugh in school and stuff like that. So I kind of learned how to fall without hurting yourself.
I don't get a chance to be funny on camera as often as I would like.
As long as I get to be doing what I love, which is making comedy and that kind of thing, I feel lucky that I get to.
I was very young when 'The Carol Burnett Show' came out, but that kind of comedy and the spontaneity of her, I think it really deeply affected me within just the joy of performance.
There are things I wouldn't do when hosting, like get people up on stage or get the audience doing a sing-song or something like that.
All my brother Eliot and I did as kids was film sketches.
If you ask me right now, you've seen the last of Mind of Mencia. I don't want to be a one-trick pony. I would rather walk away and do more movies, comedy and even some dramatic roles.
