I have been very fortunate, working a lot in TV, and have been able to dip into the film world a little bit here and there.
I came out to L.A. in '78 to be a musician. I didn't get into comedy until the mid-Eighties.
The next movie I do is not going to be in school.
I always knew I wanted to do something in entertainment. Since I could not sing, had no rhythm, and did not want to be a baby mama, I thought I would explore the Video DJ route.
I don't see myself making comedies always.
I studied my craft at the same place as Nicki Minaj.
I'm an entertainer, and I'm paid as an entertainer.
I've never considered myself a comedian. I'm a comedic actor.
I was just 15 years old when I came from Chandigarh, which was a very small town then. I became part of the entertainment field after winning the Young Miss India contest.
I've done a lot of film, so I'd like to get back into television.
It's not a very secure industry but it's one we all love and enjoy doing.
I've been in television for a little bit, and when people are attracted to what you've created, you get very excited because of the numbers. The business side is very exciting.
The entertainment industry is so vast; that's why I got into it the first place.
Earlier in my career, I just wanted to be an entertainer.
Actually, I wanted to be a musician, either a guitarist or a drummer. I guess my dreams were in the entertainment industry, and I landed somewhere along there.
The interest of my mother was more in the entertainment field. She loved to go to concerts and to the theatre.
I never thought that being a puppeteer was something someone could do as a job.
On a practical level I'm a TV producer and storyteller who's gone about as long as you can go without achieving a mass audience.
