Reality can be elastic, and I want to see how elastic it can be, you know?

Comedy is exaggerated realism. It can be stretched to the almost ludicrous, but it must always be believable.

I think if you're trying to be funny, sometimes you're bending a piece of metal in a direction it doesn't want to go. And sometimes comedy just needs to find itself.

There's an art to comedy.

The funnier the material, the funnier I could make it.

It's funny, the hardest thing to do is to make something look like it's fast, loose and improvised, and get somebody to laugh.

Part of being a comedian is that it's your job to look at life and regurgitate it in a funny way, to point out its absurdities.

I regard the writing of humor as a supreme artistic challenge.

You do a film and you know where you're going, you have this material to stretch and play with as much as possible because you know how it ends.
