Comedy is a very, very, very stringent business.

Good comedy doesn't have to be a comedy idea.

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

Comedy is tragedy that happens to other people.

Like I said, all comedy is based on exaggeration, big or small, whatever you can get away with.

You can not have comedy unless people are behaving badly. You can't have it.

I mean comedy is something that's very personal and people have strong opinions about.

Comedy is a very personal thing, and some people will find it funny, some people won't.

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

Comedy's so subjective, and if someone comes to watch, doesn't get it, doesn't find it funny, then fine.
