The word 'funny' is a bit like the word 'love' - we don't have enough words to describe the many varieties.

There's a bunch of different flavours of funny. It's all about the execution of it.

There's a lot more to me than just funny.

I think it's a comedian's job to make everything funny. Nothing is off-limits.

I can't not find humor in elements of most parts of life, but at the same time nothing ever seems perpetually funny to me.

Comedy is so subjective. You could be in a room with 400 people laughing at a joke and you could just not think it's funny. You're just sitting there like, 'Am I in the twilight zone? Why is everyone laughing?' It's such a personal thing. People have such a personal visceral response to comedy.

Of the things which nourish the imagination, humour is one of the most needful, and it is dangerous to limit or destroy it.

Humour has to have a huge nugget of truth to be funny. You cannot laugh at something unbelievable. Whenever I say something on a lighter note, I am basically unwrapping the truth from a different perspective, and that makes it funny.

People often can't separate, or can't understand, that to be funny is to be serious; it's a way of pulling people in and not scaring them off. I think a lot of the funny stuff, underneath it, there's a deep anxiety going on.

A lot of people can find something to laugh at in my humor, I guess.
