I don't just try to be funny.

If you try to be funny, you're not being funny.

It's very hard to write humor.

Writing humor is not something every single person can do.

When I'm with other people who inspire my silliness or sense of humor, I'm funny. When I sit down to write, it's hard not to be funny.

I think what is important for things to be funny is if you the listener, or the reader, get a chance to supply the humor of it yourself.

When I write, I'm not trying to be funny. It's the way I look at the world.

There's nothing less funny than trying to force funny.

If it's inappropriate to write about, if there's nothing funny about it, then it's not funny.

Actually being funny is mostly telling the truth about things.
