Comedy is a group activity, a verbal orgy.

A friend once asked me what comedy was. That floored me. What is comedy? I don't know. Does anybody? Can you define it? All I know is that I learned how to get laughs, and that's all I know about it. You have to learn what people will laugh at, then proceed accordingly.

Comedy is not funny. Comedy is hard work and timing and lots and lots of rehearsals.

I don't think comedy is something you learn. I think it's something that's either there or it's not.

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 is comedy? Comedy is the art of making people laugh without making them puke.

Comedy, at least the way I write comedy, is just drama with jokes.

You know, funny is this weird word for me. I hear is so many times it has no meaning anymore.

Comedy is simply a funny way of being serious.

Comedy is a very, very, very stringent business.
