I think a comedian has to be low status on some level; that gives you the right to do all sorts of jokes about all sorts of different kinds of people.

One of the funny things in life to me is a guy who takes himself very seriously.

Any celebrity that goes on Twitter and spouts off, as if we should care what they say, is opening himself or herself up to ridicule by anyone else.

I've always been a fan of a Johnny Carson because he was so great with an audience and not afraid of self-deprecating humor.

Anyone who takes himself too seriously always runs the risk of looking ridiculous; anyone who can consistently laugh at himself does not.

I know what kind of person he is so they can say whatever they want.

You can tell a lot about a person by what comedians they like.

A stand-up comedian will never be the life of a party. Instead, he will be the guy who is standing at a corner and observing people.

I'd be hard-pressed to think of anybody who's made me laugh, who's funny, but who's also relentlessly positive.

You might be the funniest guy in the world, but if you don't have anything to talk about, people are eventually going to gravitate towards the guy that's actually saying something.
