When it comes to comedy, it might be interesting to know why an airplane works, but really? Maybe it’s better not to know why certain things work. Just fly the thing, and if nothing falls apart, you’ll be fine. – Bill Hader
There’s a movie called ‘Pod People’ that has a weird little anteater alien. That was a good alien. – Bill Hader
If I get a chance to write a comic book or do a voice in an Adult Swim show, I do it. It’s much more fulfilling to me and I get to work with people who I’m a fan of. – Bill Hader
I like watching Kate McKinnon do something – there’s a joy in seeing a new move from somebody and going, ‘Oh, she can do that.’ – Bill Hader
I get migraines a lot. I get them when I’m stressed out. My brain freezes, and I just try to get through that. – Bill Hader
Even though it doesn’t look like it, I run. On a treadmill. And I bounce around to all the songs on my iPod – the Pixies, Wagner, Richard and Linda Thompson, even books on tape. Just not self-help ones. – Bill Hader
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. – Bill Hader
Sometimes you’re working with somebody, and you can tell they’re just waiting to say their line. – Bill Hader

Every two months, I would get an email, ‘Skeleton Twins update: still don’t have the money!’ – Bill Hader
When you move to L.A. or New York, it’s easy to get a little lost and forget your original goal. – Bill Hader
One of the reasons I started working at ‘South Park,’ actually, was that I wanted to learn how to structure things and how to tell a story. – Bill Hader
My wife is the sweetest, most even-keeled person ever. A mood swing to her is like, ‘Oh, I’m uncomfortable.’ – 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
The first time I met James Franco, he was dressed like James Dean. He was James Dean, literally, filming a biopic. – Bill Hader
I’ve been a big fan of David Wain’s and was honored to get to be in one of his projects. – Bill Hader
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. – Bill Hader
