I think, you know, a lot of the business of comedy is taking your personal experiences and making them relatable to other people.

Having other comedians complimenting my work is the biggest accolade that I can get.

There's an art to comedy.

I've turned arrogance into an artform, where it's so absurd that it becomes comedy. But I've never done anything to hurt anybody or steal from anyone.

What I love about comedy is breaking down the barrier between the audience and the performer.

It's so clear cut with a comedian - you have that reflex action, whereby you laugh or you don't. And so you either love us or you simply cannot see why people are laughing.

I'm lucky. I've worked with extremely talented women who won't sacrifice comedy to make themselves look better.

Comedians have to write to survive because you don't get cast for your beauty.

Comedians like to see people smile. With acting, I love giving people a feeling, an emotion. I like to give people a feeling. When they come away from my scene, I want them to think.

Comedians don't have a monopoly on suffering. But creative people are sometimes fortunate enough to be able to incorporate their most traumatic experiences into their art.
