You know you're an actor in New York when you're on 'SVU.'

I feel like I've done Pete Hornberger, and that is a painting I have signed, and I don't need to play that character anymore. So I'll get offers for panicky, pathetic guys, and while it's a great compliment to get them, I feel like I don't need to play that again.

My first car was a Buick Skyhawk from, like, '78, I think. I ran that thing into the gutter. It was shaped like an egg; it was cool.

The way I was brought up in improv was that any idea you have is not as good as your partner's idea, so if I see someone else initiating at the same time I am, I just defer to them because I assume their idea is going be better. And hopefully, they're doing the same with me.

I'm afraid of my mother's paranoia. The more she watches Fox News, the more afraid she gets.

I came up through Second City, so I'm used to playing 20 characters every night who are very different from each other. I wouldn't want my career to be any different.

New York is almost as important as Chicago, improv-wise.

People just associate me with comedy - not that I mind. I don't mind that at all.

I never planned to be a comedian. I don't consider myself one now.

I would be onstage all the time if I could.
