I really wanted to be a musician, but it turned out I had no sense of time.

For the amount of talent I had - and I couldn't dance, act, or tell a joke - I enjoyed a tremendous career.

I wanted to be a stage actor but I got stuck on television. It took a couple of years to get used to.

I studied really hard. But Hollywood never appreciated my talent.

The first half of my TV career, I didn't do any genre at all.

Going to college was never an option. I was passionate about music, but how much talent I actually had was another matter.

I pretty much spent my twenties as a musician and taking acting classes. I loved it. I was at UCLA getting As and Bs in English and creative writing, basically trying to stay out of the Army. All I really wanted to do was play music.

I knew I wanted to be in music, but I didn't know my role, so I did everything from interning at Rolling Stone to writing heavy metal fanzines to playing in a high-school band, and I think all those things probably helped in a way.

I had no musical or athletic ability, and I wasn't particularly good looking. Comedy was something I could do for attention.
