Honestly, I was a good kid but I figured out pretty early that I had a gift for making people laugh. I wanted to entertain and when that happens you tend to get yourself in trouble in class.

I was always making my friends laugh, but I never wanted the attention of the whole classroom.

From the age of 4 or 5, I loved to make people laugh.

Is there anything better than making a kid laugh?

I'm the youngest in my family, and everyone is very funny, and I was always trying to keep up with them. I just loved making people laugh.

If you do one good thing, that doesn't define you either. Being around the kids in the juvenile center, they were engaging, they made us laugh but they were there for doing something terrible.

I know how to make adults laugh pretty well. I don't know if kids think I'm that funny.

I like discovering stories where I'm laughing and I'm learning. It's like, 'How was I never taught that in school?'

Looking back, I remember my family laughing a lot. We were never the kind of people that dwelled on hard times. My family laughs when things are tough. Growing up like that, I got used to making jokes about things that were difficult. So when I started doing stand-up, that's what I went towards.

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