Once you become a comedian, you accept that people are just going to yell stuff at you.

I think, first of all, you need to love what you're doing, and then this helps in the comedian for its part in everything-but the moment you enjoy what you're doing, you try to express yourself, to find your way, and every time is different, of course.

I'm not a comedian, I'm not a stand-up and I don't come from a comedy background. I am an actor, but I've had a very fortunate foray into comedy, and it seems to have become a bit of a strength, and you can't complain when you become known for something.

I never thought of myself as a comedian. That is a label - make me laugh. I want to make you think.

Anybody with a sharp brain and a mic can become a comedian, but there's a need to move beyond it. The audience wants to witness the marriage of theatre, comedy and something more.

Part of being a comedian is that it's your job to look at life and regurgitate it in a funny way, to point out its absurdities.

As a comedian, you're kind of like a blues musician; you have to live a little bit.

The way I view comedy clubs is, people are drinking, they're ordering food, they're out for the night, and there's also a person onstage talking. And with the theater, they came to the theater, and they're waiting to hear what you say. So you'd better have something to say.

I'm not a comedian, but I do make people laugh. I'm good at it.

I'm not a comedian. I'm an actor who just happens to be funny on occasion.
