- Maya Rudolph: (when asked to name the funniest person ever) That's like saying "Which one of your kids do you like the best?" It started with my brother, then it was Gene Wilder, Bill Murray, Madeline Kahn, Mel Brooks, Gilda Radner, Bill Murray again. And then Bill Murray again.

- Maya Rudolph: I don't think of myself as a lady humorist. I just have boobs and parts that allow me to give birth to children, but I like to be funny with the boys and the girls.

- Maya Rudolph: [Gilda Radner] got me thinking that Saturday Night Live was where all the fun was, hanging out with all these cool, funny people and having a ball all the time. I wanted to be her. And then I wanted to be her friend so I could hang out with her. I rolled her into a ball with Madeline Kahn, Bernadette Peters, Lily Tomlin, Cloris Leachman, Gene Wilder, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Steve Martin, Richard Pryor, Bette Midler, Mae West, and my mother.
