As a kid I was always a bit of a clown, a performer.

I was obsessed with clowns. My dad had to get rid of them. I thought there were clowns under my bed for years.

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.

At school, I was the classroom clown - I was always being thrown out for being naughty. Before I left, a teacher called me in and suggested I became an actor.

I got through my teen years by being a bit of a clown.

I was like the family clown. The middle child entertaining. I was a lousy student, but interestingly, the nuns always let me write plays or do drawings, endless special projects.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a clown. I didn't want to be an actor, I wanted to join the circus and entertain people.

I was sort of the class-clown type, and I was also in school plays, and I always liked comedy.

I was always the kid in school who tried to get attention, not necessarily the class clown, but I'd do little unexpected performances.

I was always one who was clowning around in school and getting in trouble.
