I think comedians have a function in society, which is to make fun of our icons.

I think a comedian has to be low status on some level; that gives you the right to do all sorts of jokes about all sorts of different kinds of people.

I think comedians start off as pranksters or something.

Comedians are not usually actors, but imitations of actors.

It's 103 comedians, or however many it is, and how would everyone tell it. It's enough people of substance that it makes you think of the people who aren't there that are alive.

Comedians... they're different from actors. There's more ego there. They create the whole thing, I guess, so they're more precious.

You can tell a lot about a person by what comedians they like.

I never saw myself as a comedian. I saw myself as a guy who can act funny.

Comedians are sometimes resentful of their writers. Probably because it's hard for giant egos to admit you need anyone but yourself to be what you are.
