Being polite and grateful will make people more inclined to help you. And if people are willing to help you, you may accidentally get something you want.

People are getting cynical about the news. It doesn't seem like there's one place to watch where you get the straight dope. You watch the channel that proves your point.

If you cultivate a relationship in a genuine, thoughtful way, people will be more inclined to want to help you even though they don't have to help you.

That's what I love about sketch comedy: a sketch is five minutes, then it goes dark, and there's the potential for something else.

Once I walked out of my house into to the Puerto Rican Day parade. It was usually a five-minute walk to work, but that day it took me a half-hour to get to 30 Rock.

I want to do something to help people.
