I'm drawn to more than I'm allowed to do or asked to do, or probably should do. My whole career has been comedy, of a kind. I guess I've always existed in that world.
At once I feel that comedy is this amazing sort of transcendent thing, and I'm also open to the fact that maybe it's just an evolutionary hiccup, something that upright apes do in their free time.
I did sketch comedy for years. Ive always enjoyed it.
The secret to riches is the same as the secret to comedy - timing.
Dave! Relax! Close your buttcheeks!
Comedy is essentially made by young men, or older men with some form of arrested development, for young men or immature older men.
All the genres are so blended nowadays. There are lots of comedies out there that are more realistic than dramas, and some dramas out there that are so broad and wacky that they don't even pass for a broad, wacky comedy.
I think comedy's something you can't learn. It's an instinct, which makes it rather elusive.
Only the most lucid can see their love as comedy.
It's the Power of the Almighty, the Splendor of Nature, and then you.
I don't personally feel comfortable performing in a comedy club, mainly because as an audience member, I've never enjoyed that experience. It feels a little bit theme-park-ish to me, in that it's a club whose product is comedy. I find that weird. It's like those specialty chocolate stores, where everything is chocolate. It's too specific. I like going somewhere that specializes in variety.
People talk about songwriting or comedy as creative expression, but life is creative expression. Table-making, even nursing, is extraordinarily creative.
Comedy is the ultimate anarchist.
The great thing is that the funny side of getting old is fuel for my comedy.
If the existence of human beings leads to nothing, what is all this comedy about?
With comedy, it's a combination of knowing the comedic beat was good - it made you laugh, it made people on the crew laugh. With drama, you do something deep and if your stuff was really effective, the ultimate result is silence. Silence is not necessarily. . . that would also be the result if you sucked.
The road to ruin is always in good repair, and the travellers pay the expense of it.
I was always worried with comedy - what if I came to work and I wasn't in a funny mood? That hasn't been an issue.
I was obsessed with movies when I was younger. During the summer, I would go by myself to a theater down the street from my house. I saw every comedy or science fiction movie that came out. My kids love going to the movies, but 3D scares them.
I've been producing for 13 years. I've made a string of joyful movies with positive messages about comedy, love and romance.
