Comedy is not something that a person can fake or learn how to do.

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.

Some people learn comedy, and some people just are comedy.

Comedy is a way to make sense of chaos. It's a way of dealing with things that are overwhelming, that threaten you; it's a way to survive and get closer to the truth.

To me, comedy is just twisting reality. It's commenting or observing or twisting life.

Comedy is a reflection. We create nothing. We set no styles, no standards. We're reflections. It's a distorted mirror in the fun house. We watch society. As society behaves, then we have the ability to make fun of it.

Comedy is tragedy that happens to other people.

I think that comedy is one of the more serious things that you can do in our day, especially in the world that we're living in.

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 think comedy comes more from a low sense of self-esteem, and I certainly have that.
