In comedy you have to be willing to not take yourself seriously, you know? I take comedy really seriously, and so to take comedy seriously, you must not, you cannot, ever take yourself seriously.

Comedians are sometimes resentful of their writers. Probably because it's hard for giant egos to admit you need anyone but yourself to be what you are.

Comedy is simply a funny way of being serious.

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

I think comedians start off as pranksters or something.

In real life, comedians aren't funny.

People who take themselves too seriously, who can't see anything else, are usually funny.

Once you become a comedian, you accept that people are just going to yell stuff at you.
