I'm interested not just in projects that I'll be starring in but producing film and TV that's really quality and great for adults and when I say 'great for adults ' it doesn't mean without humor because I'm also interested in doing comedy.

I love doing comedy. You don't get many good comedy scripts. They're rare. But I do love playing comedy. Even in drama I like to try to find the humor because I think it's very human.

I think great humor lies in playing the truth of a situation. I see myself as a performer and that applies to a Greek drama or a modern comedy.

I don't really dissect comedy. Nothing kills off humor more than overanalyzing it.

I was a product of a divorced family and I used humor as a weapon to combat sadness. I used comedy to make my mother laugh in light of the darkness that she faced and to me it became a very powerful tool at a very young age at six. I saw how therapeutic it could be.

I think hip-hop does a very good job of infusing comedy and humor and wit into music a lot more than other genres.

Humor helps ease the tension of race and the differences in society. If there wasn't comedy I don't know if Obama could have ever become president.

I think in life the sense of humor and comedy always exists.

I never worry about people not taking my work seriously as a result of the humor. In the end the comic's best trick is the illusion that comedy is effortless. That people imagine what he's doing is easy is an occupational hazard.

One of my pet peeves is that sometimes the talents of my band get overlooked because and it was the same problem that Frank Zappa had with a lot of groups that use humor people don't realize there's a lot of craft behind the comedy.
