First and foremost, I just want to write comedy.

I wanted to write something that would be a comedy in the sense of making people feel happier when they finish it than they did when began it.

I actually very rarely see comedy myself, and although I admire the work of some comics, it does come from all over, so I'll get a charge out of some fiction writers and poets.

Comedy is a way to make sense of chaos. It's a way of dealing with things that are overwhelming, that threaten you; it's a way to survive and get closer to the truth.

There's an art to comedy.

Comedy is tragedy that happens to other people.

I am desperate to do a comedy now.

There's sketch, improv, writing, acting, music, and badminton. Those are the seven forms of comedy.

The constituents of tragedy may be universally acknowledged, easily invoked and deeply felt, but the elements of comedy are, I think, more widely variable from person to person.

There is a universality to comedy.
