A Quote by Bill Hader

Before you get to 'SNL,' you have your own sensibility. And when you get to 'SNL,' it's the show's sensibility. — © Bill Hader
Before you get to 'SNL,' you have your own sensibility. And when you get to 'SNL,' it's the show's sensibility.
It's not to say that, like, my sensibility is being sort of policed in any way. It's just I am trained at SNL' to think about the general audience. That's a unique aspect of SNL' - that everyone has an opinion on it from every generation.
I didn't audition for 'SNL.' I sent in a tape to 'SNL' the year before I started writing there, but I got the job there through doing stand-up on Fallon.
I still have a desire to do some sketch comedy. My dream is to be on 'SNL,' to host 'SNL.'
My showbiz career started with 'SNL,' and to write an 'SNL' book... well, there are already enough of those.
I have no idea what a British sensibility or a British sense of humor is. I have no concept of what that is. I have no concept of what American sensibility is. I was born in Great Britain, but I was only there for six months, and we moved to Belgium, where I grew up. I love Britain, I lived there for nine years doing shows and things, but I don't know what a British sensibility is. I'd like to have someone tell me what an American sensibility is.
You devise ways to tell a story that complies with your sensibility. Style and method are really extensions of your present sensibility.
My jokes have definitely changed. 'SNL' has helped with that, because when you're on 'SNL,' you have to kind of pay attention to the news. I feel like my material has gotten smarter now.
People used to say, "Oh, I like SNL show, it's funny." And this 2017 season, people were saying, "Oh, I love the show, I needed it, thank you." It started towards the end of last year, when the Primary started to heat up. I remember in the summertime people were excited for it, talking about SNL in July and August.
I hated L.A. for a long time, and I wanted to leave it. I had these fantasies of going to 'SNL' and falling in love with some writer on 'SNL,' of getting married and living in New York.
For me, sensibility is the location of talent. Sensibility comes first because only with the right kind of sensibility is talent useful. I've met many people who are extraordinarily talented but have no capacity to go outside of themselves or their field. I love those people, but they would not succeed in our culture.
You start at 'SNL' when you're young and hungry, but I don't want my pro years to be my 'SNL' years.
You start at SNL when you're young and hungry, but I don't want my pro years to be my SNL years.
Intelligence, that sublimation of the sensibility, that organ of the need to know, is sterilized sensibility.
I think our sensibility is not modernist anymore, that is, sensibility of people who are interested in art and literature.
I'm not an art director; I'm just not. I've always been somebody who has a sensibility that I hope is the same sensibility of others.
Most actors don't really have a director's sensibility. They have an actor's sensibility.
