When I was younger, I always wanted to be someone in the entertainment industry.

When I was a kid, I had ambitions for being a television announcer, which was before television took off, you know, in the late '40s. And just through necessity, going out looking for work, I was starting to sing, and dance, and act, and I never expected to do that, nor to have any success at it at least.

I had all the usual ambition growing up. I wanted to be a writer, a musician, a hockey player. I wanted to do something that wasn't nine to five. Acting was the first thing I tried that clicked.

I knew I wanted to be an actress when I was 9 years old.

I happen to be lucky in that I knew what I wanted to do as far as a career since I was nine years old.

When I was younger I wanted to be a big movie star who'd get to be funny on talk shows and then I wanted to retire and write science fiction.

When I was, like, 15, I realized there could be a career in making people laugh - like, you could get paid to do it. That was insane to me.

I grew up wanting to make movies, and along the way I suddenly found that I had a career doing comedy.

Even when I was young I wanted to be an actress.

When I was five I think, that's when I started wanting to be an actress.
