Quote

Comedy is the ultimate anarchist.

I think comedians have a function in society, which is to make fun of our icons.

Professional comedians, surprisingly, have a lack of humor. They're insensitive to the insanity of our times.

To be a comedian, you gotta jokesmith, there's no way around it.

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.

Part of being a comedian is that it's your job to look at life and regurgitate it in a funny way, to point out its absurdities.

It's up to comedians to shine the light on what's wrong in the world, and we don't want things swept under the rug.

I think comedians start off as pranksters or something.

The tragedy for comedians is there's nothing more they want than to be liked. We desperately seek approval. It's almost like a personality disorder you can do as a job.
