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

Comedy is not something that a person can fake or learn how to do.

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.

Comedy is tragedy that happens to other people.

I think that comedy is one of the more serious things that you can do in our day, especially in the world that we're living in.

Doing comedy is one of the best gifts in life.

It seems that two of the most basic forms of comedy are jokes and stories. And, of course, they are not mutually exclusive.

I didn't want to do comedy again. It is way harder when you are doing comedy. You can't just concentrate on the character and the plot. In comedy, the writers, instead of obsessing about character and plot, obsess about the jokes.
