— Ted Cruz

— Nick Cave

I started 'SNL,' and I became the one who did impressions. I did that, but then I wanted to get an original character on, and that took a long time to get one on that stuck. And then I got Vinny Vedecci on - 'Oh great' - and then it took a couple more seasons to get Greg the Alien on. You have to have some patience.
— Bill Hader

— Anthony Hopkins

— John C. Reilly

To make a full-blooded puff pastry, you need time, you need patience, and you need precision.
