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

I am a passionate believer that comedy is a way of tackling some of the most dark and difficult aspects of being a human being.

Comedy is a comfortable yet challenging place for me. I will always feel an inner pressure to do my best and to improve.

Life is dramatic and comedic at times. Sometimes in the most dramatic situations, there is comedy. And good comedy comes from a sense of reality.

I actually gravitate toward comedy a lot when it comes to what I'm watching, but maybe that's because I've been on such dark work the last four or five years.

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.

I never analyze stuff with comedy because it's boring. It makes you stop being funny. Just be who you are and do what you do, and you're either funny or you're not.

Comedy is tragedy that happens to other people.

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

I think one of the perks of getting to do comedy is the ability to hang out with the funniest people in the world.
