"I recollect a nurse called Ann, Who carried me about the grass, And one fine day a fine young man Came up and kissed the pretty lass. She did not make the least objection. Thinks I, "Aha, When I can talk I'll tell Mama," And that's my earliest recollection."

“Itâ€™s such a fun job, and it can be silly and light and about making people laugh. I think I was doing it a disservice by thinking itâ€™s not something ultimately important. I always was saying, â€˜Iâ€™m not saving lives; Iâ€™m not a brain surgeon.â€™ And thatâ€™s trueâ€”Iâ€™m not saving anyone from any life-threatening illnesses. But I get to tell stories, and thatâ€™s a pretty important task.”
