I auditioned for ‘S.N.L.’ two years before I got on the show. And I remember the first time thinking, ‘I know for sure I’m not going to get this.’ But I had this feeling that I would be back. Noel Wells Read Quote
I remember, when I was a little kid playing with the 25 Legos I had, I thought, ‘If I just had a camera, I could film different setups and make it look like I have way more Legos and tell a story.’ I didn’t get a camera, though, until I basically got an iPhone. Noel Wells Read Quote
I’m a progressive person, very liberal. I have this thing in my head where I’m going to change the world, but with comedy. Noel Wells Read Quote
Nobody gets into comedy because they feel like they’re cool and funny. If they do, they’re megalomaniacs. Noel Wells Read Quote
Men think of women as people who just augment their experience. Women’s value isn’t a given. But getting to know some incredible women, and even learning to value myself, it’s a shame that we aren’t celebrated, loved, and cherished as a default. A lot of stupid dudes are really missing out on a much more interesting experience of life. Noel Wells Read Quote
There is so much incredible talent in Hollywood, and it’s crazy to me that we see the same people over and over again in projects. Noel Wells Read Quote
I think the process of ‘SNL’ is still pretty formal. You make an audition tape, your agent sends it in, they watch people’s tapes, and then they invite people to perform at a comedy club in Los Angeles or New York. But I don’t know how much actual scouting they do online. Noel Wells Read Quote
For all of my class projects, I somehow turned it into a commercial parody or put on plays. My whole thing was seeing things from a big picture, from beginning to middle to end: making a costume, doing voices, writing a script, making it all happen. Noel Wells Read Quote
As a kid, I think people would have described me more as a goofball, or being energetic. But I always loved parodies; I loved spoofing things. Noel Wells Read Quote
