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

Comedy people like other comedy people. People hang out and are friends and do shows together, and when you get something going like a TV show or a movie, you want your friends to be in it and make it funnier. That's just the way it should be.

When you go out there to do comedy, you feel like you're doing battle with the audience a lot of the time. You're either going to get 'em, or you're not.

Comedy is a very personal thing, and some people will find it funny, some people won't.

Especially when you deal with comedy, you have got to be really honest because it's the honesty and the spontaneity that causes people to chuckle, that catches people.

What's great about comedy, obviously, is that you set up a situation that people assume one thing and then you break the assumption. That's basically the backbone to comedy. You set up a situation, let people make an assumption, and then you break the assumption.

Comedy is the most palliative way to make a point. People are more willing to listen if they can laugh.

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

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

I mean comedy is something that's very personal and people have strong opinions about.
