Quote

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

Well I was much too practical to presume to have a career in comedy.

I didn't become a comedian to work this hard.

There are lots of actors, and you need a way to stand out. Writing comedy sketches was a way of doing that.

I became a script writer with absolutely no idea of how to write a script whatsoever. I still feel a bit of an outsider in that regard. If I can maintain that approach to screenwriting, it can continue to be enjoyable.

I don't call acting a real job, and writing is a hobby.

In my mind, I was always a comedian who was going to branch into writing.

If I had to design a career for myself, I would have done comedy.

I don't think of myself as a comedian.
