I was considered a comedy magician. And - how do I put this without sounding egotistical? - it didn't take me long to realize that comedy magicians usually couldn't do comedy or magic.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I never wanted to be a magician. I never wanted to be a comedian. I never wanted to be onstage.
I don't think of myself as a comedian.
People always call me a comedian. And I don't really see myself like that. I guess I just consider myself an actor who does comedy. But who wants to do other things as well.
Well I was much too practical to presume to have a career in comedy.
You know, I've never thought of myself as a comedian.
I get very confused about being called a comedian, because when you say 'I'm a comedian,' people expect you to crack a joke. Maybe I use laughter and humour to make people think. I don't know what you call that - a humourist? A satirist? A pessimistic comedian? I don't know. Satirists can be very dark.
Magicians are typically introverted; they don't tend to work with others, but I work with software programmers, composers, designers, so it's a very diverse group and the result is always more interesting than something I could have done by myself.
To be a comedian, you gotta jokesmith, there's no way around it.
I never saw myself as a comedian. I saw myself as a guy who can act funny.
I never thought of myself as a comedian. That is a label - make me laugh. I want to make you think.
