I have a rule - 'funny is funny!' When I write comedy, it's not my aim to upset people. I will be offensive, edgy and immature, but I will also be very intelligent and relevant. At my shows, there are no holy cows.

There is definitely a pressure for funny people to be funny. People want them to perform all the time.

Sure, the comedians who swear or use scatological humor can get laughs, but they're uncomfortable laughs.

I don't laugh so much at jokes and premises as I do at a guy who goes onstage and starts twitching and acting funny.

If I make fun of somebody at my show, believe me, it's something we can all laugh at.

Comedy is surprises, so if you're intending to make somebody laugh and they don't laugh, that's funny.

As comedians, we are all laughing because life is so horrible. Life is so difficult, and I cope with it by making jokes about absolutely everything.

Half of the great comedians I've had in my shows and that I paid a lot of money to and who made my customers shriek were not only not funny to me, but I couldn't understand why they were funny to anybody.

You can't be funny for funny's sake. You try to get as outrageous situation as you can but it always has to be believable and based in real character motivations and what people would really do.

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