- [on John Travolta] John is the perfect star for the 1970s. He has this strange androgynous quality, this all-pervasive sexuality. Men don't find him terribly threatening. And women, well ...
- [observation on his career, 2015] To use a tennis metaphor, after a certain point you can't keep charging the net, and you fall back to the lob game. But you can still win.I think I care just as much as I did at the beginning, and I think - at lots of levels - I'm better at it now. You learn to trust signs that something isn't going to work earlier than you used to, or that this person is talking nonsense earlier than you used to, and you're confident enough to to say, "We've got it. Let's move on".
- [on Chris Farley, whom he fired from "Saturday Night Live" in 1995] I'd gone through hell with John (Belushi) back in the 1970's, and I had no intention of going through it again with Chris; so I dropped him from the lineup.
- Saturday Night Live (1975) - $115,000 (1975 season)
