It really helps a comedian to be an outsider.

Being a comedy writer gives you permission to be an outsider and poke fun at what people think about other people.

Great Canadian comics are often outsiders and insiders at the same time. That's a great perspective for a comedian.

Comedy is a shared experience, and I think it's great to open that to a wide demographic.

Comedy's about opening up and being unique, but to a point where the audience can relate to what you're saying.

I think that part of being a good journalist, part of being an awake member of the world you're in, is to view yourself as an outsider, and I always have, to some degree.

I like seeing what the comedian thinks is funny, not just what they think I'll think is funny.

I'm attracted to working with comedians because they don't have that stars' idea of what a hero should be. The downside is they're always addressing the camera too much.

I think one of the big things about comedy is the ability for the audience to identify.

There's probably been very few people in comedy that have a diversified background as I do.
