• I had a lot of bad jobs but the one big internship I had is I interned for 'SNL' when I was 21 years old and that was the joke.

Then you're getting everybody sandwiches and then the doors close and then all the great creatives are doing the work.

• Once when I was cooking I burned my arm with scalding water. I went to the Emergency Room of the Hospital. When the doctor came in he looked at me and looked at my chart, and looked at me and looked at my chart, then looked at me again and said, "I loved your show!" He told me that when he was doing his internship he would come home every night stressed out, but he would watch a late night rerun of the Andy Griffith Show and relax and fall asleep. He said, "I wouldn't be a doctor, if it wasn't for the Andy Griffith Show".
