Bill Hader

I loved growing up in Tulsa.

Getting 'SNL' was pretty amazing, so just to be able to have an eight-year career there and be really happy with everything I did, it was pretty big.

As far as post-'SNL' career, whatever kind of comes my way that looks interesting, I'll do it, you know?

My first real job, I sold Christmas trees when I was twelve for extra money. I did that until I was fifteen. Then I bagged groceries, and I worked at the first Borders ever in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

When you move to L.A. or New York, it's easy to get a little lost and forget your original goal.

Going to any loud place is terrible for me. I'm bad at loud restaurants.

You learn quickly at 'SNL' you get in trouble if you compare yourself to other people, where they're at, or what other people had done before you.

I like doing a lot of research, and then you get there, you're in wardrobe, and then you're just reacting to what the other person is doing. The other actor is reacting to what you're doing, and it's this great back and forth. Because you've done all this research, you can use some of it or throw a lot of it out. You can get lost in it.

When you're performing, you're playing to the back row. With acting, you have to be more nuanced.

Every two months, I would get an email, 'Skeleton Twins update: still don't have the money!'

I was in a sketch group in L.A., and we were playing, like, backyards in Glendale and stuff. It was pretty ugly because we didn't have any money.

A lot of times I think people, when they're doing a movie that's a family movie, they're worried about this being too esoteric or too dark or too weird.
