I took a public speaking class in college and managed to make the class laugh a little bit.

I always performed as a kid to make my family laugh and was more concerned with making kids at school laugh than I was about the lessons.

In school, I wasn't a very good student - I was very irresponsible and never did the studying but always liked to get the laugh.

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.

My goal in the classroom was always to make sure they were having so much fun that they didn't realize they were learning.

I took an acting class. After the first day, the teacher quit, so they said take another. When I saw 'How to be a Stand-up Comedian,' it resonated. I realized I'd rather make 200 people laugh than make one person cry.

I was always trying to do things to make school fun.

I was so afraid to even read a paper in front of my classmates. It is very funny because at that point my teachers would never have believed that I could speak in front of an audience of over 2,000 people.

In fifth grade, we had to write a story and read it in front of the class. When I read mine out, the class were just belly laughing. And I remember being like, 'This is the coolest!' So I want to dedicate my life to trying to make people laugh. I can't imagine doing anything else.

I was always pretty funny with my friends.
