I used to think that everything was just being funny but now I don't know. I mean, how can you tell?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
And when you're on your own there is that terrifying possibility that you may be the only person on the planet who thinks it's funny - and you have no way of finding out.
I never know when I am being funny, and the other way too. I don't think you can think about that. I don't think you can try to be funny. Some people are just funny.
I can never tell when something is funny. I just have to do it onstage and find out.
I don't know now if I'm funny. I just keep talking and hope that I hit something that's funny.
People often can't separate, or can't understand, that to be funny is to be serious; it's a way of pulling people in and not scaring them off. I think a lot of the funny stuff, underneath it, there's a deep anxiety going on.
Being funny is everything to me.
All you have in comedy, in general, is just going with your instincts. You can only hope that other people think that what you think is funny is funny. I don't have an answer but I just try to plough straight ahead.
Actually being funny is mostly telling the truth about things.
If you're contriving something, if you're making something up, it's not funny. You can tell. It's instant. It has to come from someplace real.
If you look at anything, there are always comedic moments.
