More quotes by Fred Armisen
Everyone goes through all kinds of relationship situations. I'm lucky that I get to be on two comedy shows [during divorce].
Fred Armisen
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.
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
Steve Jobs was a real rock star to me. I looked forward to his products like people look forward to albums.
Fred Armisen
Just a lot of those bands [like The Blue Jean Committee] started off in blues, and then they all transformed into other kinds.
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 came away from 'Saturday Night Live' feeling very well represented. I felt, and I still feel like, they let me do so much stuff that I wanted to do. Stuff that I almost didn't even know what it was.
Fred Armisen
I thrive most when I have to juggle things.
Fred Armisen
I started comedy in like 1998.
Fred Armisen
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.
Fred Armisen
I'm so glad cities have personalities, just like people have personalities. That's something that makes me smile.
Fred Armisen
If there is a blues song, it just goes in one ear and out the other. But other than that, if it stays with you and when we are all 90, we're going to look back at those songs, and it's going to be emotional. And when someone plays it, and you know it, and you're going to go, I know that song and I love it.
Fred Armisen
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
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.
Fred Armisen
Sometimes I think I'm a really interesting guy.
Fred Armisen
The population increasing, some of it could be in countries we haven't thought of making art in. I've never entertained making comedy in China. Like what world is that? I don't know how they would perceive art or sketch comedy. It's not a matter of intellect it's a matter of language.
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.
Fred Armisen
In my opinion, there's this new phenomenon where guys used to talk about cars a lot in the past. But, more and more it's becoming them talking about recording studios.
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.
Fred Armisen
We lived in Chicago, but the music we were inspired by was from D. C.
