I really don't know what makes a comedian. I think it's a family background and environment. Yet if you put the same ingredients in another person he may never utter a funny line.

If you think something's funny go with that. Most comedians pull jokes from a place of honesty.

Comedians don't laugh. They're too busy analyzing why it's funny or not.

I didn't plan to be the rude middle-class comedian. You write a certain type of joke that you find funny and mine happen to be often rude. Yes it's juvenile but that's me.

A comedian's body is funny as well as his mind being funny his whole personage is funny.

I mean sometimes... a comedian becomes an actor and they just don't deliver because the bottom line of comedy is to be funny and the bottom line of acting is to be truthful and they get that mixed up sometimes or don't even notice that that's the thing.

The trick is always to write in pairs because if at least two people find it funny you've immediately halved the odds of it not being funny.

Karaoke isn't fair when you're a comedian. The whole idea is to get people laughing and enjoying themselves and I'm a professional funny guy.

The comedians I liked were Bill Cosby and Steven Wright like just always as a comedic actor. I always liked Gary Larson who's really funny for a cartoonist obviously.

The media bring our wars home but only rarely have they been able to do it in complete freedom.
