I don't know how many sacred cows there are today. I think there's a little confusion between humor and gross passing for humor. That's kind of regrettable.

What's great about having an audience is they can let you know what they don't think is funny, and you can just cut that out and keep trying.

Comedians sometimes forget that there's an audience. You gotta be conscious that you're performing for other human beings.

Anybody with a sharp brain and a mic can become a comedian, but there's a need to move beyond it. The audience wants to witness the marriage of theatre, comedy and something more.

Comedians are the monkeys of acting. When you go to the zoo, everybody loves the monkey exhibit.

If I have to, I'll go and direct theater and talk till the cows come home.

The greatest thing about being a comedian is knowing other comedians. And you get to talk to them. Its the most fun.

I think a lot comes from having the experience of doing stand-up comedy. It allows you to figure out the psychology of an audience; what things are funny and not.

I think the kick to doing comedy is just to get in a film with really funny people and let them do their jobs. I find that in most comedies, I'm not the funny one, which works out great.

The violence or the vaudeville style of comedy is a technique all by itself. You get up there, and you are a comedian, and you're doing one thing. That is, you're going to make the audience laugh.
