“Well, I loved variety in television, I loved sketch comedy. At 'Saturd...” — Dana Carvey Quote

“Well, I loved variety in television, I loved sketch comedy. At 'Saturday Night Live,' I stayed almost seven years.”

“I wasn't very good as a puppet. A lot of times in a movie, you need a really good puppeteer: you're sort of a puppet, and you're doing what you can. But I always, from the beginning, was kind of making up my own stuff from stand-up and sort of directing myself, so I wasn't very good in movies where I didn't have control.”

“After years of begging, I got my parents to get me a little Craig tape recorder, a reel to reel. Then I started recording voices, or recording Jonathan Winters off television and stuff like that.”

“When I was on 'Saturday Night Live,' all I did was work.”

“My favorite way to spend Saturday is in and out of bed, watching sports on TV and eating.”

“If a guy came up and said 'we got a polka band and we're going to play polkas next Saturday night' I'd play polkas.”
