I always had a tremendous amount of rage about the business, and I thought turning that into comedy was healthy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Comedy is an amazing calling. Once you get that first laugh, it's hard to turn away. Then, of course, you're hooked and you have to learn how to survive in the business.
I was always worried with comedy - what if I came to work and I wasn't in a funny mood? That hasn't been an issue.
Although I had a good job as an advertising manager for a shoe company in Boston, I really liked to fool around with comedy.
I think that for the most part, when I started doing comedy, it had become very commercialized.
I was never really comfortable doing comedy. Though it was good the first couple of years, there were problems, and it became a stifling experience. I was happy it ended.
Comedy did a lot of things for me. I mean, 'SNL'? Not too bad. Not too shabby with this comedy thing. I have really worked on my comedy and really upped it some notches.
It seems like when I first started, people got into comedy because they wanted to be good comedians.
A lot of critics object to what I do, but I got into comedy to make people laugh, and I've always worked hard.
I love to bring humour into my work. Because comedy is not a huge part of the art world. And big-business film takes itself very seriously.
Comedy is a very, very, very stringent business.
