  • My life is littered with bad decisions.

  • It takes a certain type of person to register your 'Donkey Kong' score. So I'm just number 29 in registered Donkey Kong scores.

  • When I was a kid watching "The Blues Brothers," I could not think of a better thing than watching 300 cop cars crash into each other.

  • I am a huge sports fan and spend a lot of my time away from work watching sports, going to sporting events, stuff like that. So it is a big thrill to see these people who I have so much respect for and to find out that they're all really fun, super-nice people. It's very exciting.

  • I'm kind of under the radar. Not a lot of people notice me. Which is surprising, because I'm so sexy. They're probably intimidated by my sexiness and crushability.

  • I don't know if I was a funny kid. I would say I was a loud and weird kid.

  • I feel like all my faults go into making the person that I am. I like myself as a person. And I think taking any fault away would change who I am as a person.

  • I'm not very good at impersonations.

  • Bruce [Dern] and I are in this car just for days and days, just talking about life and I could listen to his stories forever.

  • When certain people hear "'SNL' comedy," rightfully so, you expect it to be a certain kind of goofiness.

  • There's really no wrong way to use a margarita pool.

  • Different scenes call for different acting styles. The kinds of scenes I like most are the ones where you just bury yourself in there. So I wouldn't say that's the only way to be funny, but that's my favorite way to play stuff, to try to put myself in a situation where that kind of acting is necessary.

  • I think the advantage we had with "MacGruber" is the speed we had to put it together. We had a such a short period to write the movie and such a post-[production] period, it was almost like the way that the show worked, where everything is happening so fast you have to go with your gut.

  • I'm a very bad impersonator so I can't even remember if I've ever done a sports person. I mean, I think I was Bruce Jenner once but I don't think I said anything in the sketch I was just sitting there in a like a bronze track suit. No dialogue. They don't trust me with dialogue.

  • We all grew up in that era. I'm a little younger than these guys [Will Forte and John Solomon], but I would say all of us are huge fans of the original "MacGyver" series, and obviously we found that inspiration for the original pitch for MacGruber. We took his name and made it stupid. In terms of the inspiration for the movie, that really came from our love for late '80s/early '90s action movies - the whole "Lethal Weapon" series and "Rambo" and "Die Hard," every single [Arnold] Schwarzenegger and [Sylvester] Stallone film.

  • You can do anything to my food and I'll still eat it.
