I've never really told jokes. I'm not good at it.

If you think of the people who are funny in your life, you'll note it's not because they tell jokes, it's because of their character. If you develop characters, then you'll know them, and you'll know how they'll speak. The comedy will come out of the character.

I'm not much of a jokester.

I'm not a great joke writer, which is odd for a comic to say, but I'm not.

Sometimes, comics will make the observation that it's not jokes that are funny, it's characters that are funny. And isn't that true! That's why I always kill jokes. I'm terrible at them, because I get the joke right, but I can't get the character right, and it just goes down like a lead balloon.

I'm not even really a joke-teller. I can do ad-lib and banter, but I don't do jokes.

Sometimes, comedy and entertainment is not all about telling jokes; sometimes you just have to be you for a few moments.
