If I wasn't an actor and I watched my films, I could easily be like 'This guy's a clown,' you know?

I'm funny. I'm a comedian. I'm not a clown.

I'm not a comedian, I'm an actor.

I'm an actor, I'm not a comedian, I never was a comedian.

Class clowns become actors.

I don't give a crap about clowns.

It's kind of fun to be a clown. I've always played the clown. The clowns come on, get the biggest, juiciest laughs, and then leave.

I was always a clown. In the eighth grade I won a city speech contest by doing an Eddie Murphy routine. I'm no good at public speaking, but if I can assume a role and speak as that person, then I'm fine. When I had to give a book report, I always did it in character.

I don't feel any need to play the role of the clown. In my private life I take a break from humor.
