More quotes by Fred Armisen
I can't relax. I'm not happy unless I'm working on stuff. 'SNL' is always a huge workload, as enjoyable as it is.
Fred Armisen
I spent a lot of time lifting my drums into a van, playing to ten people night after night. I can't complain about anything now.

It's already years ago now, but there's that South Korean music artist Psy, who had that hit song and it was a hit song here. I'm like, Wait a minute. There's a chance. There's a way we can have language not be such an important part of comedy.
Fred Armisen
If someone can write great music... Paul McCartney is a genius. He's so prolific. All we should do is bow down to Paul McCartney.

As far as paintings go, I always think about what it's like to move them and hang them up and hope they don't drop. To me, that seems like a big gamble, but that comes from me not being a painter.
Fred Armisen
I don't know any artists or painters, like, Oh that painting group. I want to write down this idea of a group of artists who treat it like a band. Like, Who made the painting? All four of us did.
Fred Armisen
I don't miss anything ever. Because to me, missing something is like going backward a little bit. I don't miss being in a punk band. For me, 'SNL' is like... this is gonna sound overly dramatic, but... the way I am, it feels like I'm a soldier, so it was like, 'What do you want me to do? Put me anywhere. Do you want me to do these sketches? Great.'
Fred Armisen
I started comedy in like 1998.
Fred Armisen
Rules are really weird things, aren't they? I feel like the more I do something, the more I see through rules. I see the reason to ignore it, but at the same time, That's why they made that rule!
Fred Armisen
Someday maybe I'll go back and see what the Deep South is like.
Fred Armisen
People are always nice, so I can't complain. My name used to be SNL! More and more, people call me by my name.
Fred Armisen
I like it when people are driven. I love that in any field of work, in architecture or whatever. Like Lorne Michaels - he pays attention to every detail.
Fred Armisen
I'm so glad cities have personalities, just like people have personalities. That's something that makes me smile.
Fred Armisen
Sometimes I think I'm a really interesting guy.

My father came from Germany. My mom came from Venezuela. My father's culturally German, but his father was Japanese.

Macarena is a great song. If music is something you can remember - the worst crime music can do is to be forgettable.

When 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.
Fred Armisen
I thrive most when I have to juggle things.
Fred Armisen
Remember that there's no one way of doing things. ... If you just get a hammer and hit it really hard, whatever it is, I guarantee you it'll open.
Fred Armisen
I tend to think that there is a sophistication to everything at 'Saturday Night Live,' including the sketches.
