“So for the last two years we’ve been hearing, “Make America great again.” People go, “Well, America was never great.”

For my bar mitzvah, I gave out a mix tape of ’90s grunge – if you got it now, you would think it was the ‘Singles’ soundtrack.

I love Obama. He’s my favorite president of all time. I have a giant picture in my apartment in New York that is of his Chicago Tribune cover, Mr. President.

I think the least stereotypical gay character on television is probably Matt LeBlanc on Episodes.

You kind of have to learn how to adapt yourself, and I felt a really powerful way to do that was to make people laugh.

And then you’ll consume them however you can. For example, I don’t really watch Showtime, but I bought ‘Homeland,’ and I’ve been watching every episode on my iPad.

I appear to be normal and have the look of an in-shape man, but if we were to go to a pool party I would go with my shirt on.

That’s what I think is important to remember now and when you hear that slogan, “Make America great again.”

I am what they call a chubby-skinny guy.

I think it’s pretty classic if you look at the way entertainment reflects the country’s status.

You ever spent eight hours acting in water?

I am open to doing anything.

I think it’s important that we remind everybody that America was never great in itself. It’s been great in its aspirations.

There’s a common misconception with sketch comedy that you just go up there and wing it, but it’s written, and there really is order.

I also think you can go back and forth between film and television pretty seamlessly.

It was videotaped, and I’m sure Shane Black was watching it from his helicopter or something. And then I got a call the next day that I was going down to shoot it.

Well, you can’t improvise story, which is a fact. If you could, the budget would be insane.

It’s nice to know there’s a big world with many perspectives. I tend to get so stuck in my own small world easily, and going out into the world reminds me that I’m not the center of the world – in a good way.

I’m not going to die broke, but I’m not rich.

The ego is willing but the machine cannot go on. It’s the last thing a man will admit, that his mind ages.

I don’t know why it is that I have always been happier thinking of somewhere I have been or wanted to go, than where I am at the time. I find it difficult to be happy in the present.

We can’t win – if we nominate someone – if we nominate someone that half of the Republican Party hates, we’re going to be fighting against each other all the way to November [of 2016]. We will never win that way.

There is no pleasure in the world like writing well and going fast.

It’s no good running a pig farm badly for 30 years while saying, ‘Really, I was meant to be a ballet dancer.’ By then, pigs will be your style.

I’m lucky enough to lead a very active life, so I’m always on the go.
