I was dancing on Broadway for many years. Then everyone was either getting injured or retiring, and I was dancing with younger dancers.

When I was a dancer, I was acting.

I was an actor before becoming a comedian.

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 never really thought of myself as a physical comedian. But when I was a kid, I used to, you know, pretend to trip over things to make girls laugh in school and stuff like that. So I kind of learned how to fall without hurting yourself.

I actually started acting because I couldn't dance.

I was always going to be a dancer - I drifted into acting.

I started out as a dancer as a kid; I've been dancing since I was 4. So performing was always part of what I was.

I was a standup comedian, which is kind of like writing and directing yourself.
