I think that's the thing I learned at 'Saturday Night Live' - any time I would try and strategize, I would always, always fall on my face. Things worked out when I tried to make it about what I was feeling at that moment and what I was into in that moment of my life. -- Bill Hader

I'm never going to say, 'Well, I'm never going to do comedy again.' I love comedies, and it's what people know me for, so I love doing it ... I don't really think about it in terms of 'Well, I should do this because it's comedy or drama.' -- Bill Hader
Bill Hader Quotes : pic 000655130

Bill Hader Quotes : pic 000657886

Bill Hader Quotes : pic 000775238
I move out here, and next thing I know I'm 25, and the only thing I've heard is, 'Can you get a coffee, can you hurry up with the thing, blah blah blah.' It was nice doing something and hearing someone go, 'Hey, you're good at this.' -- Bill Hader

Bill Hader Quotes : pic 000879047
In the U.S., it's like, you start with a great script, and then on set - not everybody, but definitely in the Apatow group - you go off, and you're improvising on camera. So while you're on camera, you're saying things that no one else has ever heard before during the actual take. -- Bill Hader
Bill Hader Quotes : pic 000881166

I don't believe in the term 'guilty pleasure,' because it implies I should feel ashamed for liking something.

Bill Hader Quotes : pic 000911198

Bill Hader Quotes : pic 001350619
'Vanity Fair' did this grid thing a couple years ago, connecting people who've worked together, and I had the most branches on it or whatever, because I'd worked with so-and-so and so-and-so worked with so-and-so, and I was kind of in the middle. -- Bill Hader
