I think you figure out how to be funny by necessity. It's not a natural thing, being funny in the face of tragedy is kind of demented.

I think comedians have a function in society, which is to make fun of our icons.

This whole generation of parents - I'm guilty of it too - does too much for their kids.

The best thing about becoming successful is that you get flowers all the time.

I was always trying to do things to make school fun.

I hate being mean. I watch those roasts on Comedy Central and they make the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

I think I knew I was funny in Elementary School. I think most funny people realize it when they're young. It tends to come out of stress or trauma - something that makes you want to be funny.
