If you have no tragedy, you have no comedy. Crying and laughing are the same emotion. If you laugh too hard, you cry. And vice versa.

Comedy has to be based on truth. You take the truth and you put a little curlicue at the end.

If you listen to a language for 15 minutes, you know the rhythm and song.

After all those years of doing a live, hour-and-a-half show every week, I've got nothing more I need to prove.

If you can't stand yourself, neither can anybody else!

If you have no tragedy, you have no comedy. Crying and laughing are the same emotion. If you laugh too hard, you cry. And vice versa.

The best thing about humour is that it shows people they are not alone.
