“I wanted to do the comic strip. I tried to get it syndicated, and I sent some examples to a syndication company, and they sent me a rejection letter!

“The only way I'd want to do something in television would be if it was about how I think as a comedian. I'd need to be able to be a creator.

That's not fun. At least not for me.”
