I had a lot of depression as a kid.

I grew up in the heart of the Depression.

I was a really, really depressed kid.

It was the height of the Depression, and suddenly I am earning pots of money.

I was a Depression kid, growing up in Oklahoma.

I kinda went through a semi-depression. Honestly. Like, I lost myself.

It was well after college that I learned about depression. I got my first job for Jack Paar. I realized I was sleeping 14 hours a day and just living for the Paar show.

I went from being very popular and the head of the clique in the sixth grade to having, like, kid depression in the seventh grade. Not leaving the house. Not looking people in the eye... My body made me feel bad at everything.

I was depressed as a child. I found it hard to make friends. My favourite thing was locking myself in the bathroom and practising comedy routines.

As far as I was concerned, the Depression was an ill wind that blew some good. If it hadn't occurred, my parents would have given me my college education. As it was, I had to scrabble for it.
