Being funny wasn't a career choice growing up, it was my way out of situations; a way to survive another day.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I wasn't funny as a kid. I remember enjoying comedians, but I never understood it was a job choice or a profession.
As soon as I realized you could be funny as a job, that was the job I wanted.
I grew up wanting to make movies, and along the way I suddenly found that I had a career doing comedy.
Comedy wasn't something I chose - it chose me. I was just inherently funny when I was a kid.
It's like, if I had the luxury of choice, and didn't have to worry about making a living, I would definitely want to get into whatever field it was that allowed me to push further and further comedically. Because that's the joy of it.
If my life wasn't funny, it would just be true, and that's unacceptable.
I wanted to be in show business, and I was funny.
I was always funny, but I wasn't a great musician, and I wanted to be a musician way more than I wanted to be a comic. I just didn't think comedians were cool when I was a kid.
What I've understood is that to be funny is not my job. To see funny is my job.
I've had a very laughable career and what has seen me through is my sense of humor.
