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.
There is a lot of stuff now that is in bad taste, and I don't see the necessity for it all. We didn't have to do it in our time, and they don't have to do it now.
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. That stuff was heavy.
I never mind scrubbing floors, vacuuming or bending and carrying stuff. Each time I do it I think, this is instead of going to the gym.
The more you do stuff, the better you get at dealing with how you still fail at it a lot of the time.
I was 23 years old. It was a wild time. I was covering everything that blew up - blackouts, Studio 54, son of Sam killer, and all of that stuff.
Really, at a time when they're debating when and where a nativity scene can be used, this is the kind of stuff we need to have out there - outside of the church.
All I know is that I have way more stuff that I want to write about than I possibly have time to.
I see the city as an organism, shaped through time by the little humans having habits and doing millions of stuff in and out of it.
Once you establish a foundation of knowing what the greatest recording artists of all time were... Wouldn't you want your kids to know this stuff?
I feel like you only have so much time to make stuff. I'm definitely aware of that. I'm also excited about it.
I go to the gym, I swim daily and from time to time I meet with friends and do extra-curricular stuff.
Clifford Stern: [on Lester's films] I can't watch his stuff. It's sub-mental.
Alan Shepard: Sounds dangerous Recruiter: It is! Extremely dangerous! Alan Shepard: Count me in! [smiles]
Lyndon Johnson: Gladiolas! Isn't there anybody who can deal with a housewife?
Before I had a steady job, I was broke, and I didn't have any money to buy anything, so I would illegally download stuff.
People think that celebs make a lot more money than we do. We look for bargains and we do a lot of stuff on our own.
So as soon as the land was worth something and there was money in the bank, all of a sudden everybody got interested in non-discrimination, in who's really going to administer this stuff.
It's part of my nature. I get excited when trying out new stuff, whether it be an idea or equipment. It stimulates my juices.
I wonder if it's in the nature of fiction writers to never quite see their own lives as 'real,' since we are always making stuff up!
You have to learn how to harness technology so you can use it for positive stuff without being disconnected from nature.
