I really don't know what makes a comedian. I think it's a family background and environment. Yet if you put the same ingredients in another person, he may never utter a funny line.

I think a comedian has to be low status on some level; that gives you the right to do all sorts of jokes about all sorts of different kinds of people.
I'm not a comedian, but I do make people laugh. I'm good at it.
A comedian is sort of like a wild animal. It really just depends on where you catch them. Sometimes they want to cuddle up, and sometimes they'll snap at you. But for me, more often than not, if I'm talking to somebody who makes their living in comedy, it'll be a very thoughtful conversation driven from an emotionally honest place.
I'm not a comedian. I'm an actor who just happens to be funny on occasion.
If you're billed as a comedian, people will accept anything you say as light-hearted and not with intent behind it.
I never thought of myself as a comedian. That is a label - make me laugh. I want to make you think.
The average comedian is kind of an observer looking at everyday things that everyone could relate to and then trying to find the exaggeration in those things.
To be a comedian, you gotta jokesmith, there's no way around it.
I think it's a comedian's job to make everything funny. Nothing is off-limits.
As far as I can tell, comedians are pretty serious people, and that's why they make fun of things all of the time.
