More quotes by Fred Armisen
Sometimes I think I'm a really interesting guy.
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
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 thrive most when I have to juggle things.
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
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
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
There's no judgment on bands that continue on who aren't popular some people get enjoyment out of it. I'm just not one of those people. I wanted attention.
Fred Armisen
Macarena is a great song. If music is something you can remember - the worst crime music can do is to be forgettable.
Fred Armisen
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 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
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
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
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 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 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 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 started comedy in like 1998.
Fred Armisen
Avoid people who tell you that something you want to do is not possible.
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.
