Besides, shame is the master emotion.
But after this last year and dealing with the studio, the rest of us are closer than we've ever been.
But we wanted to work in a way we never had, which was write everything together. We had to face each other in the same creative room, which gets tougher as you get older, because you don't want to be confrontational.
Cancer Boy probably has the saddest, noblest, sweetest heart of any character I've ever done.
How much business I should partake in is a complicated question in my life. I mean, everyone slams Hollywood. It's such an easy thing to do, and I'm sure I would too if I spent a lot of time here, because you know what the game is. People want to make money off of you and people want you to succeed.
However, we couldn't focus on the films much during the series because we're dumb. Individually we're smart guys, but together we're one big dumb guy, and couldn't concentrate on two things at once.
I don't know, I just sort of follow my own momentum, whatever that is. I'm not, like, on the rewrite circuit, or on the stand-up circuit.
I don't love comedy but I can watch someone who's kind of interesting forever. I think a waitress who's having a bad day is a lot more fun than Robin Williams doing forty minutes of material.
I don't really like comedy.
I got involved in improv comedy. It settled me down when I was getting wild. I was sort of an evil teenager smashing up my cars and drinking and driving, let's just say, a lot.
I got through college realizing business was repugnant.
I hate to sound like Julie the cruise director but it's people that I think about all the time.
I like to do little obsessed losers, or people who are in over their head, or people who are trying to figure stuff out, or guys whose girlfriends leave them and they don't quite get it. Guys who just don't quite get it.
I think after the series was over, ah it took a while to realize that I really did want to perform a little bit more than I always said I did.
I think that's why I like baseball. There's something great about it - you're young, the pitcher's young and he's got this great arm, and he doesn't really realize anything about strategy.
I think we all wanted to just end it while we all still kind of liked it, while it still meant something to us.
I think you can see that in the show. Music was my touchstone. Music is still much more important to me.
I think you're the grumpy Kid in the Hall, I'm the nice Kid in the Hall.
I would rather be a security guard than a rock star.
I, sir, I just like to work. I'm humble.
I'm just ah, actually developing a tv show for HBO, and I'm directing a film this summer, and actually I'm doing some live shows out in western Canada.
In terms of the series, we worked separately, getting together in rehearsal to beat out the material.
In the States, 'cause it's on at freaky times in so many places, it took so long for our show to gain momentum.
Is it spoken word? Kinda, but that's a weird area. Is it comedy? Well, it's funny but no, it's not comedy.
L.A. Woman is amazing, but when I was growing up I was into the Who.
Most of the people I know in bands, all they are concerned about is getting to do the next record.
No, I don't run all the way. I'm not like an Olympic class runner.
No, they're nice guys. They wear girdles, but they're nice guys.
The rest of the troupe have all these TV influences like Carol Burnett and stuff.
To me, Doors fans were always the 16-year-old idiots at parties, getting stoned, and talking about how Morrison's lyrics were like poetry... like that was a deep thought.
We see less of Dave, certainly, and he's kind of fallen out of the sphere of our group, mostly because he's working on his show, and has kind of lost the fun of the party.
We've always cherished the film work we did on the show, because it had a different feel than the live sketches.
Yeah, we're sweet but savage, and I think a lot of Canadians are that way.
You know, funny is this weird word for me. I hear is so many times it has no meaning anymore.
