Some people learn comedy, and some people just are comedy.

To me, comedy is just twisting reality. It's commenting or observing or twisting life.

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.

What's great about comedy, obviously, is that you set up a situation that people assume one thing and then you break the assumption. That's basically the backbone to comedy. You set up a situation, let people make an assumption, and then you break the assumption.

There is a universality to comedy.

To be honest, I don't know how comedy works.

In life, comedy occurs naturally, as it should, in the most appalling of circumstances.

Comedy is simply a funny way of being serious.

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