I'm fortunately not in a situation where someone owns me.

I take having a kids' show real seriously. I think it's an enormous responsibility.

I wasn't a great improviser when I started there; I'm not really up on current events. I would always just mug, just try to get my laughs from making faces. So I decided to do a character who should never have become a comic - somebody you would see at the Comedy Store and go, "This person is never going to make it."

I wouldn't sell my bike for all the money in the world. Not for a hundred million, trillion, billion dollars!

It's a lot easier to say you're a comic than a performance artist.

I think my entire career path was determined for me when I was 6 years old, watching reruns of 'I Love Lucy' on TV and thinking about making people laugh.

I'd love to direct, and I think I'd be a great director, but... I've been approved by the studio to direct, which I think is a cool jump of faith for them. Or proof that they're really stupid. But I don't think so.
