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!

More quotes by 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 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
I tend to think that there is a sophistication to everything at 'Saturday Night Live,' including the sketches.
Fred Armisen
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 started comedy in like 1998.
Fred Armisen
I thrive most when I have to juggle things.
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.

Macarena is a great song. If music is something you can remember - the worst crime music can do is to be forgettable.
Fred Armisen
I'm so glad cities have personalities, just like people have personalities. That's something that makes me smile.

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.

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
I want it all... fast. I want to be married, I want to live together... and then somewhere around a year or two years, I get freaked out. I freak out emotionally and then I actually feel like 'Oh my God, who's this stranger in my house?'
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
We lived in Chicago, but the music we were inspired by was from D. C.
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
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
Sometimes I think I'm a really interesting guy.

Chalkboards being used inside the restaurant seem to be a good sign that the proprietors are proud of their food, and that's kind of nice, actually - it's a nice personal touch.
