You have to be yourself sometimes, and you have to be alone sometimes, Odenkirk says.Farley also receives high praise from SNL producer Lorne Michaels, whos seen firsthand some of the greatest comedic talents of the past two generations up close. Theres a category of people that Ive worked with that are infuriatingly talented. As long as theyre in this world, I think you always recognize whatever it is when you see it, Michaels says. Youre always drawn to it.
