I was very much aiming to go into movies eventually, like a lot of 'SNL' people. But, soon after I arrived, all these really good actors started, like Fred Armisen, Bill Hader, Jason Sudeikis and Andy Samberg, and I thought, 'If I were casting a movie, I would put all of them in it over me.'

I started in high school, and in college, I studied radio, TV, and film. The plan was to be a filmmaker, and it was always comedy.

Donald Trump often appears on Fox, which is ironic because a fox often appears on Donald Trump's head.

I'm strictly a sugar-free Red Bull guy. I'd rather enjoy my sugar intake elsewhere.

My mother is an incredibly beautiful woman who has laughed at every single thing my father's ever said. At a young age, my brother and I understood that if you can make girls laugh, you can punch well above your weight class.

I love cheese plates. Though I actually hate cheese plates. Because I can't say no to them.

My parents introduced me to 'SNL,' Monty Python, and Richard Pryor probably way earlier than they had any right to.

I don't get the conga line started. I'm not a great choice if the goal of the evening is just a celebration. But if we're going to talk about what's been going on lately, then I can bring something to the table.

The nice thing about anger is that, as an emotion, it's strong enough to unplug me from the comedian's mind for a minute and just be a frustrated member of the citizenry.

I always thought I'd be a father.

I think the greatest gift your parents can give you if you want to be a comedian is good taste.

People say, 'Oh, you're doing the job of journalists.' I think it's very important to note that we can't do our job without journalists. Journalists can do their job without late-night comedians. They'd be just fine without us. But we, of course, use their work every day to build our pieces.

When my girlfriend and I talk about being happy, I'll get choked up, which I think is the greatest gift you can give a girlfriend.

My 'SNL' days of working through the night have come and gone.

I thought Ted Cruz was more fun than Carly Fiorina. And I never thought I would ever say the words, 'Ted Cruz was more fun.'

In 2004 I had the fortune - or the misfortune - of playing John Kerry. It was hard because I think the best impressions exaggerate someone's most well-known quality. And exaggerating gravitas is very hard to pull off.

Seth Meyers

It's nice when I get offered small parts. But I really think that 'SNL' is what my skill set is best designed for.

Seth Meyers

I want people to know my political point of view. There's an appetite for that, almost an expectation. I also want to make people laugh, but I wouldn't want to do it at the expense of my point of view.

Seth Meyers

Donald Trump has been saying that he will run for president as a Republican, which is surprising since I just assumed he was running as a joke.

My father is sort of the jokester. My dad is still the funniest guy in our family.
