The Heartbreak of St. Louis Fans: “Actually there were a lot of Boston fans at that last game. People were like, ‘Just give it to them.’ A lot of people are comparing it to the United States beating the Russians. Yeah we beat the Russians, but then we had to go on and beat Romania or something, Finland, to get the Gold. No one remembers that. But it’s like, ‘We did it! That was the best Olympics ever! We beat the Russians!’ Yeah, but that wasn’t the end. That wasn’t what got us the Gold. So once after the Yankees, people just said, ‘Whatever. Just go.’ Even the Yankee fans were like, ‘Just give them one. I’m tired of hearing it.’”
Learning from the Farrelly Bros. and Drew Barrymore: “Listening is more important than talking. And just hit your mark and believe what you say. Just listen to people and react to what they are saying.
Drew [Barrymore] does it different almost every time. She’s awesome. She can do a scene where she’s upset and they’ll say, ‘Just tone it down a little bit.’ And she’ll do it again and tone it down and not cry so much. Then they’ll say go all the way and she’ll just goes all out. Holy mackerel! It’s like you turn a knob going more. It’s so impressive. I think this is the best I’ve seen her in a movie, too. I’m a big fan of Drew Barrymore but I thought she was fantastic in this movie. I watched it and I got right out of it. I didn’t act like I was there. I just got into the story.”
Leaving After Six Years on “SNL”: “The first couple of episodes, you’ve got to kind of wean yourself off. Six years I lived in a dorm at Rockefeller Center sleeping in the same office as Horatio [Sanz] and waking up there. You miss it so bad. Whenever I’m around a TV set I’ll watch it.”
