Comedy is simply a funny way of being serious.

I can be quite serious sometimes so laughing is key.

There's something very authentic about humor, when you think about it. Anybody can pretend to be serious. But you can't pretend to be funny.

Being a funny person does an awful lot of things to you. You feel that you mustn't get serious with people. They don't expect it from you, and they don't want to see it. You're not entitled to be serious, you're a clown.

As a kid, I thought of myself as a funny person who secretly wanted to be serious, but now I think maybe I'm a serious person who secretly wants to be funny.

As far as I can tell, comedians are pretty serious people, and that's why they make fun of things all of the time.

Actually being funny is mostly telling the truth about things.

I think serious situations actually make for the best kind of belly laughs. But they're also the hardest to convert into comedy at the outset.

It's hard to be serious in life.
