I wasn't funny as a kid. I remember enjoying comedians, but I never understood it was a job choice or a profession.

One of the things that comedy has given me over the years is a really good ability to laugh at myself and to not take things that don't matter too much too seriously. I feel that very little offends me anymore and I'm really grateful for that because I think I was a pretty uptight little kid.

I was always funny, but I wasn't a great musician, and I wanted to be a musician way more than I wanted to be a comic. I just didn't think comedians were cool when I was a kid.

I always was trying to make people laugh as a kid. I was a big fan of Carol Burnett and Gilda Radner. I watched them and I remember feeling as a child, when I heard the laughter they got, a little jealous that they made someone laugh like that.

I was a huge fan of comedy when I was a child.

In terms of pure comedic value, 'Tootsie' is brilliant.

I don't know if I was funny as a child, though I always thought my parents really enjoyed listening to me sing.

Comedy wasn't something I chose - it chose me. I was just inherently funny when I was a kid.

I was a comedy fan when I was a little kid.

Comedy, your funny bone, is formed in childhood.
