The current Babe Ruth of improv? Sacha Baron Cohen. He's pretty amazing.

My mom's a social worker, and my dad works in non-profit organisations.

I feel like if I won an award and I was giving my speech and the music started, that's all I'd remember, the humiliation I felt when the music started. It would mar the entire experience for me.

Luckily, I think, I never really wanted to be famous, I just wanted to make movies.

I remember, when I was an up-and-coming comic, how annoyed I would be when the famous guys would show up and just take everyone's spots.

The good thing about L.A. is that there's always someone more famous 100 yards away from me.

As soon as I realized you could be funny as a job, that was the job I wanted.

I think when you do comedy, you play by a different set of rules. No one really wants you to be in that good shape. Being in good shape implies a level of vanity that isn't necessarily funny.

To me, what separates a funny movie from a good movie is something personal.

Marriage can be expensive, and if I lose millions then it'll be the best millions I've spent.
