|  I could do John Wayne, Jack Benny, Jack Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and entertain my friends. But I never seriously considered it as a career choice. | | As an actor, I felt I couldn't compete. I wasn't as cute as the leading man; I wasn't as brilliant as Robin Williams. | | One of the remarkable things about my career is that it has been marked by steady, incremental progress. No sudden spikes up, and no sudden downfalls, either. | | I found the writing arena to be much less competitive. | | Even at Westchester High in West LA, I was class clown. | | I've succeeded beyond my wildest dreams - financially and the amount of fun I have in my life. | | The one thing I could do was voices and impersonations and weird characters, and there was really no call for that, except on Saturday Night Live. | | I was 36, and I had decided to quit acting because it was so disappointing. |
