I've always been weird, and into weird stuff that has a hard time finding mainstream success.

Obviously, if you get a chance to be in Alexander Payne's movie, you're going to go for it, or you'd be a crazy person.

I love everybody I work with....

I love everybody I work with. It's really like a family. I can't imagine leaving. It's weird. I know at some point I'll have to leave, but I don't really have any plan for that yet. Anytime you're leaving, it's going to be a crapshoot. You hope you have something to do afterward, but there's no guarantee.

I am a huge sports fan and spend a lot of my time away from work watching sports, going to sporting events, stuff like that. So it is a big thrill to see these people who I have so much respect for and to find out that they're all really fun, super-nice people. It's very exciting.

We all grew up in that era. I'm a little younger than these guys [Will Forte and John Solomon], but I would say all of us are huge fans of the original "MacGyver" series, and obviously we found that inspiration for the original pitch for MacGruber. We took his name and made it stupid. In terms of the inspiration for the movie, that really came from our love for late '80s/early '90s action movies - the whole "Lethal Weapon" series and "Rambo" and "Die Hard," every single [Arnold] Schwarzenegger and [Sylvester] Stallone film.

When I was a kid watching "The Blues Brothers," I could not think of a better thing than watching 300 cop cars crash into each other.

I'm a very bad impersonator so I can't even remember if I've ever done a sports person. I mean, I think I was Bruce Jenner once but I don't think I said anything in the sketch. I was just sitting there in a like a bronze tracksuit. No dialogue. They don't trust me with dialogue.

I think the advantage we had ...

I think the advantage we had with "MacGruber" is the speed we had to put it together. We had a such a short period to write the movie and such a post-[production] period, it was almost like the way that the show worked, where everything is happening so fast you have to go with your gut.

Will Forte 10 quotes

Different scenes call for dif...

Different scenes call for different acting styles. The kinds of scenes I like most are the ones where you just bury yourself in there. So I wouldn't say that's the only way to be funny, but that's my favorite way to play stuff, to try to put myself in a situation where that kind of acting is necessary.

Certainly there were so many ...

Certainly there were so many different people I had as heroes growing up. Steve Martin is always my number one. David Letterman's show, that was important. And 'Saturday Night Live,' obviously.

Will Forte 10 quotes

When you make something that ...

When you make something that you're really proud of, and it doesn't do well, you can live with it. The hard part is when you make something that you have to compromise on and it doesn't do well.

Will Forte 10 quotes

I feel like all my faults go ...

I feel like all my faults go into making the person that I am. I like myself as a person. And I think taking any fault away would change who I am as a person.

Will Forte 10 quotes

I don't like the pressure to ...

I don't like the pressure to try to tell the best jokes. I'm not good at jokes.

Will Forte 10 quotes

Anybody can have any opinion ...

Anybody can have any opinion they want to, as long as it's an informed opinion.

Will Forte 10 quotes

Definitely, I did not, after ...

Definitely, I did not, after 'SNL,' say, 'OK, first I'll go be in Alexander Payne's movie.' I thought I might go back to writing, to be honest.

I'm an optimist, and I'll stay in situations for much longer than I should, just thinking that they'll work themselves out.

Will Forte 10 quotes

You're certainly aware of you...

You're certainly aware of your strengths and limitations, but I'd say I probably err on the side of trying to go too far and then get disappointed with myself and how it turns out.

Will Forte 10 quotes

I feel like I've always been ...

I feel like I've always been a hard worker - working too much on things that I don't need to work on. Nothing's ever going to be perfect, but I still feel like there's this attainable perfection, which doesn't exist.

Will Forte 10 quotes

I just love the people I work...

I just love the people I work with so much, you know. It's an embarrassment of riches to get to work with Kristen Schaal and Mel Rodriguez and Mary Steenburgen and Boris Kodjoe and Cleopatra Coleman and January Jones, but then to get to bring Jason Sudeikis into the mix, you know, we're like brothers from all that time we spent together.

I don't do a lot of strategizing, career-wise. I was approached by Chris and Phil, the guys who did 'The Lego Movie.' They gave me my first job on 'Clone High.' We've been friends forever, and they asked me if I wanted to write something with them.
