'Saturday Night Live' is a very particular beast. What it celebrates are individuals who can stand out. I did good work there, but going onstage and saying, 'Hey! Hey! Look at me! Aren't I funny?' - that just wasn't my instinct.

Some actors start with the right shoes. I start with the right hats.

Hats are for life's ultimate moments. They're worn at races, at weddings. Occasions many of us, who aren't royals and celebrities, only attend once or twice in a lifetime.

I wear so many disguises on the show that only a real comedy fan might spot me.

Actors walk around wearing these little tool-belts of acting skills. And I just don't find that interesting to watch. I never want to see someone who clearly can cry at the drop of a hat. That's so uninteresting.

As actors, we get to hide. You can change your hair and your accent, and it's not you. You have tricks, these masks.

I'm not a hat person. I really don't like wearing things on my head.

I have to give the SNL crew props - it cannot have been easy to work with me.

As an actor, you're supposed to take jobs that will challenge you or force fans to see you in a different light. By the '90s, I wasn't really an actor anymore. I was someone who went on the road with these gigantic concerts.

The personality of the wearer and the hat makes the hat.
