I don't think comedy is something you learn. I think it's something that's either there or it's not.

You can't study comedy; it's within you. It's a personality. My humor is an attitude.

I think comedy's something you can't learn. It's an instinct, which makes it rather elusive.

It's interesting because with a lot of people who I've met in comedy, it seems not to matter what your background is. In terms of formal schooling - I feel like that's a nineteenth century term - but in terms of where you went to high school or college, or wherever, all that really is irrelevant, I have found, in comedy.

I think comedy has a range, with multiple peaks in different areas. It's like trying to compare Beethoven and the Beatles. Sometimes I hear from people, 'I think you try too hard in your comedy.' And that's what I worry about.

I don't really dissect comedy. Nothing kills off humor more than overanalyzing it.

Truly, with a sitcom and the rhythms of comedy... music is so helpful in that area of life.

To be honest, I don't know how comedy works.

I've always said that music is like literature.

It seems that two of the most basic forms of comedy are jokes and stories. And, of course, they are not mutually exclusive.
