Dancing With the Stars' is so Middle America, and people take it so seriously.

As I get older, my sense of humor is my biggest asset.

I decided sitcoms weren't for me.

When I was a kid, I wanted to walk with my dad's limp - my dad was my hero - but that infuriated him, and he would make me walk back and forth in the living room until I walked without it.

I wanted something where I could have the clearest and most unfiltered artistic and creative voice.

To be known by the public, honestly. People come up and tell them how good I make them feel.

Be talented enough to make it and stupid enough to keep trying.
