I wanted to be the next Dana Carvey. This was my ultimate goal. If I ever cut into a birthday cake and made a wish, I would wish to be on 'Saturday Night Live.' If I threw a coin into a fountain, I would wish to be on 'Saturday Night Live.' If I saw a shooting star, I would wish to be on 'Saturday Night Live.'

I wish I could come home to a life that looks like a TV show. I wish I could see my television family waiting for me, where no one fights and no one screams, no one lies and no one leaves.

Hey, the TV was my friend. As a child, I always said, 'I want to live in there someday.'

I love television, I've always wanted to be on television.

I spent my whole childhood wishing I were older and now I'm spending my adulthood wishing I were younger.

Every day, every birthday candle I blow out, every penny I throw over my shoulder in a wishing well, every time my daughter says, 'Let's make a wish on a star,' there's one thing I wish for: wisdom.

I always knew that good stuff would come along when I was older. So when I was 18, I longed to be 30; when I was 30, I longed to be 50. I've always looked forward to my next birthday.

You get to that age where you're watching a lot of television, and who doesn't want to be on television?

I decided if you're lucky enough to be alive, you should use each birthday to celebrate what your life is about.
