You never have a comedian who hasn't got a very deep strain of sadness within him or her. Every great clown has been very near to tragedy.

I'm funny. I'm a comedian. I'm not a clown.

I'm an actor, not a clown.

I'm a tearless clown. If I were to get a tattoo, it would be the two masks, and they would be both smiling.

I think we all have the urge to be a clown, whether we know it or not.

I know what I look like - a weird, sad clown puppet. I'm fine with that.

You can't be funny unless you're tragic, and you can't be tragic unless you're funny.

I don't feel any need to play the role of the clown. In my private life I take a break from humor.

I don't give a crap about clowns.
