I haven't been really nervous about a gig in a long time.

Each gig should be unique. You're always treading that line between keeping yourself fresh and giving people something they want to hear.

You never know which gig is going to be your last.

It's no accident that I'm not married and don't have kids yet. Because, despite what I've achieved in my career, I'm always wondering when somebody's gonna tap me on the shoulder and say, 'OK, the gig is up.'

I used to get nervous about three weeks before a gig... now I've managed to condense it down to a manageable ten minutes.

The honeymoon phase always ends, for everyone.

If a gig goes badly, my main worry is, 'Will these people come back?' Because that will affect my ability to pay the mortgage - but nowadays, I don't really mind what happens, as I think if it all goes wrong for real, you still have to go with it.

A lot of people think, 'Oh, you made 'SNL.' You're set. You're good.' No. All there is gigs, and you go from one gig to another. And hopefully you get a good gig, and it lasts for a while, and you get good work and people remember it, and you have good memories of it.

A lot of people don't think they can count on me, but I've never missed a gig in my life.

Your heart weeps a little bit when you have to say goodbye to a crew you spend two months with, but when it comes to the part, when you live so close to someone for two months, it kind of fades away and then you see her again on screen later on.
