Quote

I spent 25 years as a stand-up comedian.

It takes a while to realize that just because you're a stand-up comedian and you do comedy, you're not going to be good at all comedy.

When I started out in comedy, it was common knowledge that it took about 10 years to get good. And that was okay because it took you about 9 years to get on television.

You have to be delusional to be a comedian.

To be a comedian, you gotta jokesmith, there's no way around it.

To become the best comedian, I must be well-rounded.

I'm not a comedian, I'm not a stand-up and I don't come from a comedy background. I am an actor, but I've had a very fortunate foray into comedy, and it seems to have become a bit of a strength, and you can't complain when you become known for something.

As much experience, education and awareness as one can attain is important for a comedian.

You know, I've never thought of myself as a comedian.

I'm not a comedian. I'm an actor who just happens to be funny on occasion.
