- Bob: (On "Run, Ronnie, Run") And it was a horrible, horrible experience. The worst experience I've ever had in my career by far. It was a nightmare!
  Edit Share Hide
- Bob: (On actres Sarah Silverman) I could see how it wouldn't work at S.N.L., because she's got her own voice, she's very much Sarah Silverman all the time. She can play a character but she doesn't disappear into the character--she makes the character her. She doesn't really do character voices. She puts out stuff that she would appreciate and then you can like it or not--she doesn't give a sh**.
  Edit Share Hide
- Bob: (on getting cut from "Waiting for Guffman") I'm thinking of doing a lecture on the experience of getting cut. How to survive it. One: Don't see the movie. Two: Get bitter. And three: Stay that way as long as possible.
