The comedians who I admire that are really good, they always take it to a deep psychological place.

I think comedians see themselves as people among people.

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.

Professional comedians, surprisingly, have a lack of humor. They're insensitive to the insanity of our times.

My favorite comedians are basically themselves onstage.

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

The really good stand up comedians can be angry but relatable, and they have interestingly humanizing personalities. Their observational skills are far greater than mine, so I'll just stick to reading lines off a page.

The real good comedians, like Chaplin, would make you laugh and a second later, cry.

Christians have always been fodder for comedians who have tended to portray them as anoraks - slightly clammy, beatifically smiley dullards with barely a personality between them.

I think comedians start off as pranksters or something.
