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.
The next movie I do is not going to be in school.
I came out to L.A. in '78 to be a musician. I didn't get into comedy until the mid-Eighties.
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 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.
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.
Earlier in my career, I just wanted to be an entertainer.
The entertainment industry is so vast; that's why I got into it the first place.
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.
