Fear of comedy is all so much about who you do it with.

I'm not opposed to putting myself in danger for meaningless comedy.

I think that... I would say that sometimes people get afraid of when you're balancing comedy and drama.

I was always worried with comedy - what if I came to work and I wasn't in a funny mood? That hasn't been an issue.

I don't have a fear factor. Well, not much of one. And I'm willing to risk quite a lot - as a comedian, you're always risking a lot. You're risking failure, especially if you're improvising and going on TV shows trying to make comedy out of thin air. That is quite a risky business.

Well, a lot of politics is communicating with people, and obviously comedy has something to do with that. I've been a producer and led people. Also, being a comedian, you're under pressure.

Comedy scares me a lot. I feel like it's way harder than drama. I think my safety net is definitely drama, and I would love to kind of be able to be able to push into the comedy world and do something kind of like a Christopher Guest kind of style show. That, to me, is my kind of comedy. Like, Ricky Gervais comedy. That's my kind of thing.

I used to love comic books, and I love American comedy, and neither are afraid to tackle big themes.

If you make comedy, if you try and make comedy where no one gets upset or offended, you're going to fail.

When I first started as an editorial cartoonist, I was terrified on a daily basis. Filling that hole the next day, knowing that tens of thousands of people were going to expect something funny. There is still that pressure, but you kind of learn how to cope with it a little better.
