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

Some people learn comedy, and some people just are comedy.

Comedy is not something that a person can fake or learn how to do.

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

I have such a respect for comedy. It's a lot harder than doing drama, in my opinion; you have to have sort of an innate sense of humor. There are rules to comedy you can learn. But ultimately, it really does require a certain point of view on the world, and that really does appeal to me.

I think that comedy is one of the more serious things that you can do in our day, especially in the world that we're living in.

A friend once asked me what comedy was. That floored me. What is comedy? I don't know. Does anybody? Can you define it? All I know is that I learned how to get laughs, and that's all I know about it. You have to learn what people will laugh at, then proceed accordingly.

I think comedy I've learned is really just about relaxing and trusting yourself and allowing yourself to fail.

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.

Comedy is learning to be funny, and you learn to be funny in small rooms with young audiences.
