Samberg: "You get into comedy because you are insecure, and you communicate with the world through comedy to sort of alleviate the tension of those insecurities and to find a way to make people like you other than the way you look or how good you are at sports. I don't think that really goes away."

Samberg: "I'm a tearless clown. If I were to get a tattoo, it would be the two masks, and they would be both smiling."

Samberg: "I've always found it worthwhile to make something completely stupid just to prove that you can. People in general are too stressed out, even though most things are pretty ridiculous."

Samberg: "If you let go of fart jokes, you've let go of a piece of humanity."

Samberg: "So much of stand-up is convincing people - without anything but your energy and your body language - that you're confident and comfortable."

Samberg: "Obviously, SNL has a lot of viewers, but the potential for a movie is through the roof."

Samberg: "It's interesting: when your wife is pregnant and you're expecting, everyone's like, 'It's incredible. Get ready. It's magic. It's the most life-changing experience you'll ever have. Brace yourself for heaven.' And then the second the baby comes, everyone's like, 'Welcome to hell! Ha ha ha! You fool!'"

Samberg: "Since there have been men and women, there have been funny women."

Samberg: "I think I was the only person in my experimental film class doing comedy. But my sense of humor and a lot of comedy that I love is quite surreal and strange, you know? You could argue that 'Monty Python' is experimental film. It just happens to be really funny."

Samberg: "If I watch an episode of SNL, and there's one thing that I liked, then that's a good episode."

Samberg: "It's weird to have people so interested in your personal life. It's a part of the business that grosses me out. I'm always bummed out for people who just happen to be dating a celebrity, and they're also famous, and they can't live their life."

Samberg: "These damn smartphones have enabled us to do far more than we were ever meant to all at once."

Samberg: "If had a penny for every strange look I've gotten from strangers on the street I'd have about 10 to 15 dollars, which is a lot when you're dealing with pennies."

Samberg: "I don't think a baby is something that you should do because other people are doing it."

Samberg: "A sign now of success with a certain audience when you do a short comedy piece, anywhere, is that it gets on YouTube and gets around. It's always something you're thinking about unconsciously."
