There is a universality to comedy.

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.

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

I think so. I can't think of anything that requires more finesse than comedy, both from a verbal and visual point of view.

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

I really think if you take away a character's obstacles then there's no comedy.

Comedy is really not like any other art form in that it's very specialized and varied in it's content, but generic in it's title.

Comedy does offer an avenue to television and film careers for untelegenic people that great drama does not.

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

There's all sorts of terrible things that happen around the world. And comedy's one of those few things where you can discuss those things.
