Some Fred Armisen's quotes. Goto "Fred Armisen's quotation" section for more.I've always been a fan of instructional videos. The bass-player ones are insane. The music on them is fascinating. It's not something you hear on CDs or would really ever play in bands. You listen to it and are like, 'What is happening?' It's this blizzard of notes in weird time signatures, and they're trying to teach you that.
Tags: Music, Time, TryingI've met Tony Danza. He was really nice. And he looks... I feel like he hasn't aged. He looks exactly the same. He's just Tony Danza. He's exactly the same as he's always been.
Tags: Aged, Looks, NiceMy father came from Germany. My mom came from Venezuela. My father's culturally German, but his father was Japanese. I was raised in New York and spent two years in Rio. My parents met at the University of Southern Mississippi, and they had me there, and then we moved to New York. I'm not very familiar with Mississippi.
Tags: Father, Mom, ParentsPrince is my favorite ever. I've liked Prince since... It's been a really long time. Even in junior high. I used to only like punk for a while, and I had all these rules for what kinds of groups were cool, and who was not cool, but as soon as I saw this one Prince video... It just broke all those rules. I was like, 'I love this no matter what.'
Tags: Cool, Love, TimeSometimes 'Portlandia' can be pretty traditional. But the stuff I've always loved on 'SNL' has always been the weirdest stuff I've done. The stuff that went on at 10 to 1 in the morning.
Tags: Done, Morning, PrettyThere are bands that I am friends with, who will invite me up on stage. Like Les Savy Fav, who have had me on stage, and I have played on their record. There are a couple of bands like that. Yo La Tango has invited me to play with them.
Tags: Friends, Played, StageThere are people who are genetically made to start record labels, and I'm not one of those people. People just have it in their blood and are good at it. Corey Rusk from Touch and Go and Ian MacKaye. These are people who have made their own labels.
Tags: Good, Start, TouchThere's something really easy and just somehow un-crowded about the Portland airport. Every time I go there I'm like, 'Why is this so easy and sweet?'
Tags: Easy, Time, WhyWhen I first started going to Portland, people told me about Stumptown. They were like 'Oh, it's the best coffee,'and I thought, 'How good could it really be?' I'm like, 'Sure, great, uh... I'd love to see it.' But then when I went, it truly, I am not kidding, is the best coffee I have ever had.
Tags: Good, Great, LoveWhen people say that L.A. doesn't have a culture, I think it really does: a very old culture, and very specific. There's streets named after entertainers, and statues of entertainers, and it's great. Entertainment is still art, even if it makes billions of dollars. So it's like a city built on entertainment, and art in a way.
Tags: After, Art, GreatBill Hader does a really good impression of me.
Tags: Bill, Good, ImpressionEven when I go do comedy stuff live, I can still feel the drummer in me about to go onstage.
Tags: Comedy, Drummer, StuffEvery music journalist I've ever met has been stunningly beautiful.
Tags: Beautiful, Journalist, MusicI can't relax. I'm not happy unless I'm working on stuff. 'SNL' is always a huge workload, as enjoyable as it is.
Tags: Happy, Stuff, WorkingI loooved Sleater-Kinney like a crazy person.
Tags: CrazyI tend to think that there is a sophistication to everything at 'Saturday Night Live,' including the sketches.
Tags: Night, Saturday, SketchesI think I was a terrible husband, I think I'm a terrible boyfriend.
