JASON SUDEIKIS

I am now The Establishment. There's nothing I can do about it.

Each experience I go through - marriage, my public life, my personal life - I'm learning as I go.

A mustache really defines your face. My dad had a mustache when I was growing up, and I can still remember when he shaved it, he looked like a completely different person.

When somebody listens and laughs, you're always in better shape than when you're with those folks who just kind of look at you when you say something funny. You wonder if they're looking at you because they're mad that they didn't say it or something. It's hard to handle that.

That's what I love about sketch comedy: a sketch is five minutes, then it goes dark, and there's the potential for something else.

I've never been a shirt-off, pants-off kind of comedy guy.

Growing up, my sisters were both into dancing, so I went to a lot of dance recitals, mostly because there were always pretty girls in leotards.

I'm not buying a boat because of writing skits.

It's fun to play the type of people you dislike.

I'd love to do a drama.

You start at SNL when you're young and hungry, but I don't want my pro years to be my SNL years.

Once I walked out of my house into to the Puerto Rican Day parade. It was usually a five-minute walk to work, but that day it took me a half-hour to get to 30 Rock.

People are getting cynical about the news. It doesn't seem like there's one place to watch where you get the straight dope. You watch the channel that proves your point.

I'd like to extend my career a little bit into different genres.

Being polite and grateful will make people more inclined to help you. And if people are willing to help you, you may accidentally get something you want.

I think people who live in the worlds that movies are based on end up disliking them. Unless they're from a different time and era.

I don't know where I'm gonna be two weeks at a time, much less the thing I'm making. I'm just flattered to get the opportunity to do it and to get asked to do it.

A lot of it comes from tiny things, like not eating barbecue sauce with my pizza at two in the morning. I think it's all a manifestation of being happy and wanting to treat myself well. The truth is, I'm not getting up an hour earlier and walking on a treadmill. I have the greatest workout partner in the world. And you don't need a gym membership for that kind of workout.

I always took pictures, but about five or six years ago, I started taking more behind the scenes at SNL, and now I have some 60,000 photos sitting on my laptop.

I don't know if the idea of a career in show business or in the arts in general was looked down upon as much as by baby boomers as it was by their parents.

It's the journey, not the destination. I truly believe that.

Now Ben Folds is my photography older brother. He was kind enough to give me a photo of his for my 40th birthday.

One of my oldest friends from Kansas, his sister was married to Ben [Folds] and wrote lyrics on his first couple of albums. I got to meet him the first time I saw them in concert at The Bottleneck, a great bar in Lawrence, Kansas. Then, he was the musical guest my first or second week as a writer on SNL. I was like, "I don't know if you remember me?" And he was like, "Oh my god, yeah!" He's a big photography fan, as am I.

A lot of improvisation ends up being about just thinking outside of the box in the scene. It's not improvisation as much as it is quickness or making it real.

Oh definitely. It'll be in a hot tub, with my entire head squeezed into a jet. The photos are going to be hilarious. Man, I really hope the internet sticks around so people can reference this article in my obituaries and see that what sounds like a joke was actually amazingly prescient.
