“My dad’s from there, and I have relatives there, but I don’t think I’ve been to Chicago since I was like 9.”

The best thing to do is to get out in front of an audience as much as you can, and learn from the experience.

Richard Grieco once asked for a bunch of M&M’s

Comedy is this weird thing. You have no idea why certain things work and other things don’t work.

I move out here, and next thing I know I’m 25, and the only thing I’ve heard is, ‘Can you get a coffee, can you hurry up with the thing, blah blah blah.’

My kids, they’re always embarrassed when my voice shows up in something.

The idea of a Chicago band that wanted to sing songs about California is really funny. Having never been to California.

I always felt better co-writing something – always co-writing. Because if I was the lead of it and it failed, then it failed on my own accord. I would say, “Well, I liked it or I screwed up. I take the hit on this one.”

It was nice doing something and hearing someone go, ‘Hey, you’re good at this.’

Growing up in Oklahoma, there wasn’t much to do. Play sports, do a lot of drugs, or read and watch movies, which is what I did.

I’m not a fan of the Eagles, but I’ve watched their documentary numerous times and everyone who’s watched it with me has sung along to the songs, much to my dismay.

If a guy doesn’t like a funny girl, something is wrong with him.

I really enjoyed playing Vinny Vedecci, the Italian talk show host. He was the first character I ever came up with where I gave him a name and a way of dressing.

I have nothing, I have no props.’ And that was Andy Samberg. And Andy Samberg said he was looking at me going, ‘Oh, that guy has no props. He doesn’t need props.’ And that was the first time we met, was in that elevator.

It’s not like you get up on stage and you’re immediately a genius. It takes a long time. So, don’t be discouraged.

As my father used to tell me, the only true sign of success in life is being able to do for a living that which makes you happy.

When Courtney’s mother and I first separated I tried to be Disney Dad, showering her with gifts, trips and then I snapped out of it.

Dad taught me everything I know. Unfortunately, he didn’t teach me everything he knows.

My dad was in the army. World War II. He got his college education from the army. After World War II he became an insurance salesman.

Mom and Dad even took in foster children. ‘There are no limits to how much you can love,’ Dad always said.

I love music; my dad and brother were very musical, and music just happens to be one of my hobbies that became my vocation.

I was crawling around inside of her. She was a church pianist. My dad was a brilliant singer. I was hearing it.

My dad graduated seminary there, and so did (sounds like) Mark Kimball’s grandfather. They sang in a quartet together, my dad and Mark Kimball’s grandfather.
