There is nothing that is so serious that you can't also see its comic side. Comedy is a way of talking about the most serious things.

I think that comedy is one of the more serious things that you can do in our day, especially in the world that we're living in.

Comedy tends to come out of things which are quite painful and serious.

I love doing comedy - I get a laugh out of it, it's not so serious.

Comedy is not funny. Comedy is hard work and timing and lots and lots of rehearsals.

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.

I've always found it easier to be funny than to be serious.

People complain that joking about serious subjects is 'making light' of them. Isn't that a good idea? Comedy lets the air out of the bully's tires.
