I've always wanted to stay involved with young people. I never bought into the idea that entertainers owe nothing to their audience except a good performance.

As I got older, I never considered that tons of people were watching me on television every week. I give a nod to my parents for keeping me as normal as I could be in an un-normal adult world.

My parents weren't at all in entertainment, but when I look back, something along the line prepared me and opened me up to entertainment.

When doing family entertainment, you don't actually worry about kids. You know what you can't do. But in terms of sensibility and sophistication and wit and ambition, aim for your own taste level, and kids will - if they're interested in the subject matter - be glad that you did.

When I go to my live shows it's often a multigenerational audience, a family bonding experience.

I feel like I've been the star of my own show for a while now. I was always putting on shows as a kid, and obviously, my household was really creative.

Ever since I was a little kid, whenever my parents would have company over, I would put on shows, whether they would be magic shows, singing shows, dancing shows, little skits.

I've grown up with my audience; they're my age or older. Not a lot of kids are coming to see me.

My family aren't performers. They're just normal people. They don't understand this entertainment world. They just think it's mental. They have no idea what I'm doing in America.

I haven't traditionally been a family entertainer.
