I had done the sitcom thing to lesser and lesser degrees of success.

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

I’ve tried actively to define myself and redefine myself, and not be pigeonholed.

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

I never wanted to lose out on an acting job and wonder if I hadn't been trained enough.

Every little kid has always wanted to be a race car driver. This gets some of that out.

The president is always made fun of.
