I don't watch the media that much.
I did not grow up in a cosmopolitan environment. I grew up in a little town in the middle of nowhere, pre-Internet, pre-college radio.
When I was growing up, I didn't know there was a world outside of California.
I was raised a Catholic on both sides of the family. I went to a Catholic grade school and thought everybody in the country was Catholic, because that's all I ever was associated with.
It never dawned on me that I had the option of becoming a comedian. I come from a little dirt street town in northwest Texas, and they really don't talk about the arts there much on career day.
The people with the passports, the people who travel more, tend to be the most understanding. And it's ironic that the people who travel the least have the strongest opinions about the people they've never met.
I didn't dream of joining Man City as a professional one day, or representing England, because I didn't know that was even possible.
I've never been to the opera; I've only seen opera on DVD.
Unfortunately, I don't know many black people.
Football really felt like a private thing when I was in my teens because it wasn't on television, for a start, apart from 'Match of the Day.'
For myself, I never thought that I'd ever be able to even buy a house. Sometimes when you don't have it, and you're not surrounded my entrepreneurs, you don't think about it.
The people who have the strongest opinion about everything have never left their city, their town, haven't left their 'hood, haven't left their area, their corner of the world. They don't read. They've never left their house.
I've never seen 'Game of Thrones.' I've never seen 'Breaking Bad.' I can't tell you one character outside of Walter White.
I'm very, very sad to say that the only Sondheim show I've done is "A Little Night Music" and it was when I was in college.
I didn't grow up watching a lot of TV.
I was so green, and my background was mostly in theater. The only thing I'd done in front of a camera, besides an infomercial and one commercial, was 'Brothers McMullen.'
I grew up in church. I don't know anything different.
From when I was born to when I was 21, I never left Toronto. That's why I'm such a city cat.
My world was small growing up. I never really left the three-mile radius of my tiny neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley.
I had some social anxiety when I was younger because I wasn't surrounded by many people in my life.
There was no theater in my high school. I think even our art program was cut - it was so bad. I didn't even know that was a possibility in college or in high school; I hadn't even thought of it. It was pretty negligent. My father has run a bulldozer all of his life, and my mom is in real estate.
When you're babysitting a kid, all you're seeing is a version of them, a small dosage.
My only foray into anything stock-market-related was in my eighth grade social studies class. I have steered clear ever since.
I didn't come east of the Mississippi for the first time in my life until I was 26 years of age, but I knew. I read magazines, I listened to radio, I watched television. I knew there was something out there, and I wanted a part of it.
I'd hardly seen any movies when I was 19 and left drama school.
