There's nothing less funny than someone who looks cool. There's nothing more unappealing.

I don't care about how I look; I'm dedicated to the laughs. You know, I used to be a clown, so - my name was Smoothie the Clown. All the training I had, all my training is geared toward making people laugh, and I didn't care about being cool.

There is this idea in comedy that you don't want to look like you care about your appearance because that takes away from what's real, what's important. And the real stuff is what's funny.

The truth is, I had always wanted to be a comedian, but I really didn't have that kind of personality, and it's a terrifying thing to say.

Something I always admire, especially in female comedians, is that they're willing to make themselves look terrible.

I don't consider myself a comedian because I don't really concern myself too much with jokes.

I think there's something in the fact that it's hard to be good looking and funny. You have to have an oddball quality; people have to sympathise with you to find you funny.

I am odd-looking. I sometimes think I look like a funny Muppet.

Trying to look cool and lovely in comedy is a recipe for disaster. You have to let go.

With a lot of comedians, one of their major attributes is that they look comedic, with a certain hangdog or manic expression. I look like the neighborhood bully. That doesn't elicit laughter.
