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 arises out of necessity, because some things are so dark that you have to laugh about it.

Comedy is to force us to observe ourselves in ways that are humorous and yet, at the end of the day, that cause us enough discomfort with the status quo to make a change.

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

I think comedy stems from being honest, often painfully so. I hope I can achieve that perspective in my own life and also have fun.

Comedy is a way to make sense of chaos. It's a way of dealing with things that are overwhelming, that threaten you; it's a way to survive and get closer to the truth.

I think, you know, a lot of the business of comedy is taking your personal experiences and making them relatable to other people.

I have such a respect for comedy. It's a lot harder than doing drama, in my opinion; you have to have sort of an innate sense of humor. There are rules to comedy you can learn. But ultimately, it really does require a certain point of view on the world, and that really does appeal to me.

Comedy can be a little brutal, but not in a satisfying way.

I think the main thing about comedy and humor is that it's impossible and always was impossible to define.
