I Learned How To Draw From Being

Roxanne Came Along In '86, When I Was Doing A Lot Of Stand-up. I Auditioned For The Movie, And Of Course I Was A Huge Steve Martin Fan, So I Really Hoped I Would Get This Part. I Don't Think There Was Any Part In Particular That I Auditioned For. I Just Went In And Talked With Them. There Were So Many Parts In There, And So Many Comedians Ended Up Getting In That Movie, Playing Different Firemen And Townspeople.

I Grew Up Watching Stand-ups And Thought It Was So Entertaining And Unique - You Didn’t See That As A Job Description Anywhere.

I Enjoyed Living In New York City, I Liked The Premise Of The Show [saturday Night Live], I Liked Working With A Different Host Every Week And Different Musicians. I Always Thought, "this Is Great. I Never Expected To Get This In The First Place, So I'm Just Happy Being Here."

A Special Validates You As A Stand-up By Documenting Your Material.

It's Kind Of Fun When You're Playing Characters That Aren't Quite On The Up And Up And People Still Like You.
