Zitat des Tages von Kate McKinnon:
'SNL' can be a stressful environment, and I am panicking constantly, but I guess I keep it pretty internal.
My couch is made of cat's hair. The cushions have been obscured, and it's made of salt-and-pepper fur. I can't have visitors. I can't ask people to sit on that couch because they become implicated in the furriness of it, and they're walking around, and it's not fair to people.
I have only had positive interactions in relation to my impressions of people, which I'm happy because I do them with love, and I hope that the people who I do them of really like them.
For 'Ghostbusters,' the thing that makes it such an amazing franchise and an amazing idea is that it is adds the element of physics and technology. It's not just about ghosts. Who the heck came up with that? It is such a good idea, such a unique combination of stuff from different genres. Ghosts and sci fi.
For an impression, I just find that I can do a lot of the people I love without much research, because I've already watched hours and hours of them on video and it seeped into my brain while I wasn't thinking about it.
I have always had eclectic obsessions: astrophysics, music theory, the Mongol empire and its history, and the history of the Silk Road, to name a few.
I love doing impressions of politicians because the task is always to imagine the private lives of these people whose job it is to project an image of staunch, unflinching leadership and grace, and that's just not how human beings, in their heart of hearts, work.
I grew up with a pet iguana named Willy. We had a very contentious relationship. It turns out that iguanas are not meant to live in suburban homes.
It just feels unnatural to me to broadcast anything other than the character I've created.
I can't do choreographed movement. It has to come from my heart... and my pelvis.
It's hard not to be the straight man when Zach Galifianakis is there. He's such a delightfully bizarre creature. Everything he does is so surprising. He's such a live wire. It's just so exciting to watch.
I'm a very low-key person, but for some reason, I like to act out.
I really like collections of things. I love antique botanical prints with a bunch of different weeds and seeds.
I hate the feeling of having hair on my neck.
I've never had a couch that needed to be cleaned or learned how to couch-clean in general. That feels too grown-up.
Even if you're an angry, intense person, you also have to have intense joy about life and intense feelings about the world.
I will not hear a word against him. I love my Bieber!
I was just never discouraged from doing something wacky like trying to be a comedian.
My most frequent collaborators at S.N.L. are the incredibly gifted writers Chris Kelly and Sarah Schneider!
I tried for a short time to be something I wasn't, and had no success with it. It's a practical solution to just be yourself.
Maddie Ziegler is the most amazing dancer I've ever seen, and I'm so obsessed with her. I was obsessed with her even before she did her first Sia video.
It's such an insult that foul gas comes out of a hole in our butt with a sound to announce itself. It's the ultimate bad thing about being a person.
I feel like science and art are cousins.
You've gotta believe in yourself, and you just have to work harder at it than you've ever worked at anything before in your life. And if you keep doing that and keep believing in yourself, great things do happen.
Comedy has become, I think, a very important branch of public intellectualism. But it still ain't Washington.
Basically hated everything made in the '80s, music television - it was really about the '90s for me. 'Encino Man' was a big hit. 'Robin Hood: Men in Tights.'
I don't sleep enough, and it does... what is the opposite of wonders... horrors. It does horrors for my skin.
I was very serene, and I still am, until I start talking in another voice, then suddenly I have a lot of volume and I'm frantic. But I didn't want to be one of those people who's always talking in accents in real life, so I started doing sketch comedy.
Even when Facebook came out, and I was in college, I found myself never putting anything on it.
I only come up with things when I am talking to myself, which I do constantly. The sidewalk and the subway are the best places for this. I speak at full volume and then laugh at myself if I like what I just said.
If you asked me to seriously kiss someone on a screen, I would be very uncomfortable. But I will lick any part of your face.
I admire my boss, Lorne Michaels. He never stops producing. I think, for him, comedy is a tool of compassion, a way of rallying people together and saying, 'Guys, isn't the world bonkers? Aren't we all just trying our best?' There's a tenderness in everything he does.
I love Jared Hess' movies. He's such a weirdo and such a nice, funny guy.
Nothing makes me laugh more than farting.
