I was the class clown, but I was a reluctant class clown because I was always and still am somewhat embarrassed by performing. I have terrible stage fright, and I don't like being in front of people.

Somehow, by just continually pestering the general public by appearing on television, they accepted me and wanted more.

But I don't think I was ever destined to be a big star.

I think the whole idea of me was that I wasn't going to be but that I wanted to be, desperately.

People think that all cameramen do is point the camera at things, but it's a heck of a lot more complicated than that.

I'm not a competitive person.
