I just wanted to be in show business. I didn't care if I was going to be an actor or a magician or what. Comedy was a point of the least resistance, really. And on the simplest level, I loved comedy.

There was really a snobbery from people in film - they did not want people who had come from television. It was the poor relation of show business, and especially situation comedy.

I was the kid who liked making other people laugh, so maybe the comedy came before the acting.

I wanted to be in show business, and I was funny.

Comedy was all I ever wanted.

I wanted to do a show based on what my life would be like if I had never become a comedian.

I wasn't looking to get into TV. My family was in the movie business, so I was never interested in that world.

I wanted to be less well-known in comedy.

I didn't really want to be a comedian.
