People, when they talk or write about comedy, they don't really get it.

Comedy tends to come out of things which are quite painful and serious.

Comedy is tragedy that happens to other people.

One thing that bugs me in comedy is when somebody does a fake cry, you know, like they fake cry in a comedy. But in a drama they'll really cry. That bugs me.

Especially when you deal with comedy, you have got to be really honest because it's the honesty and the spontaneity that causes people to chuckle, that catches people.

I think that having comedy where people talk the way they really talk, when you talk with your friends and whatever, it's really, it's important. Or else you're making stuff that's a little bit watered down and irrelevant.

I think comedy is one of the hardest things to do.

I think, you know, a lot of the business of comedy is taking your personal experiences and making them relatable to other people.

Comedy is wonderful when you really nail it and you hear people laughing, but it's not always that easy.

The thing about comedy is it gives you a platform to expose your own shortcomings, so it becomes a public display of weirdness.
