Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
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!
-
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**.
-
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.
-
Bob: I don't get recognized much. But I don't get out much.
-
Bob: (About Lorne Michaels) All the things you read about Lorne, they're true. When you work for somebody you learn that they have a system or a theory. His theory is keep everybody off-balance emotionally. It's not a ludicrous notion that if you keep everybody off-balance they'll work really hard, but it's not true, either. It's true in the short term, but it's not true in the long term.
-
Bob: I was raised Catholic, so of course I'm now an atheist.
