There is a universality to comedy.

I believe comedy should be free to go anywhere. I believe that there is tasteful and untasteful, I think they're very close to each other, and it's how you handle it tonally. But I'm an equal opportunity offender.

Comedy shouldn't be restrained under the belt of normality.

I think so. I can't think of anything that requires more finesse than comedy, both from a verbal and visual point of view.

There is a strong ethical dimension to the best comedy. Not only does it avoid reinforcing prejudices, it actively challenges them.

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

As the purpose of comedy is to correct the vices of men, I see no reason why anyone should be exempt.

Comedy may be big business but it isn't pretty.
