Fred Armisen Thinking Quotations

The more I keep myself occupied and jump from thing to thing, the more I think it enriches both.

I tend to think that there is a sophistication to everything at 'Saturday Night Live,' including the sketches.

I have an inability to relax. I try to make every day a work day. I get pleasure from work... I try to think of sketch ideas, stand-up pieces. I am incapable of leisure and leisure time.

I think I was a terrible husband, I think I'm a terrible boyfriend.

I still feel lucky whenever I hear a director say, "Action!" Because then I think, "Whoa, I'm really in the movies. This is a real thing happening." I've never not been enthralled by that. I still love it. I still love hearing it, and I feel really lucky all the time.

When 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.

Sometimes I think I'm a really interesting guy.
