I think 'Saturday Night Live' starting in the 1970s really gave women an outlet to be funny. A lot of those women went on to have film careers from Kristen Wiig now to Tina Fey and Gilda Radner.
Doing Saturday Night Live definitely affects my relationship with my girlfriend and with my family because you feel so much pressure to do well that night. But I think everyone's grown to accept that and so they give me my space at the show.
Both my mum and dad were great readers and we would go every Saturday morning to the library and my sister and I had a library card when we could pass off something as a signature and all of us would come with an armful of books.
I was into the Mets because my Dad worked at IBM where he got free Mets tickets so I was into the Mets... then I got to 'Saturday Night Live' where my boss has unbelievable N.Y. Yankees tickets so he invites us to the games. I'm going to all the games so I might as well root for the team I'm gonna go sit with.
My memories are of my dad taking me to football on Saturday mornings and my mum taking me swimming. Those are the things I remember from my childhood not sitting around the table debating capitalism and the profit squeeze.
You know you grow up with the image of John Travolta being super cool - 'Saturday Night Fever ' Brian De Palma handsome young god... he in reality is a very silly man. And I mean that in a good way. He'll walk around the set talking in little weird voices making people laugh.
Most of the time you're too busy to think about it. But every now and then you say 'I work at 'Saturday Night Live ' and that is so cool.
I miss Saturday morning rolling out of bed not shaving getting into my car with my girls driving to the supermarket squeezing the fruit getting my car washed taking walks.
The government's view is that the best time to announce bad news news that it doesn't want the public to dwell on is late on a Friday when it will wind up in the Saturday papers which if you were readers then the week day editions. A holiday weekend is even better.
I didn't grow up thinking of movies as film or art but as movies something to do on a Saturday afternoon.
I have to be alone very often. I'd be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That's how I refuel.
Middle age is when you're sitting at home on a Saturday night and the telephone rings and you hope it isn't for you.
But I don't think there has ever been anything written on the nature of violent man as deep and as thorough as Shakespeare's Titus. I think it puts all modern movies and modern exploitations of violence to shame.
