I was pretty quiet as a child.

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

I was always a relatively quiet and introspective kid.

I think I knew I was funny in Elementary School. I think most funny people realize it when they're young. It tends to come out of stress or trauma - something that makes you want to be funny.

I'm sure that my parents' behavior has entered my work, I'm sorry to say. I don't think you need to have a difficult childhood to be funny, but it helps.

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

As a kid, I had to be funny.

Even as a kid I was never the generator of humor, but I always knew who was funny, who to hang out with.
