I wasn't in the drama department, but I auditioned anyway and he not only cast me but also included a few sketches that I wrote, which really sparked my pursuit of comedy.

If you're funny, you can find a stage to get on. If you're good, you'll start to get work and eventually get paid.

Comedians are thinkers. The best ones are akin to philosophers, in my opinion.

Not that that's the goal, but sometimes these funny insights can also be deeply profound.

I'm just looking for a little mystery in life... like things you can't explain. Like, you go to Mexico, they tell you don't drink the water. You go to any diner here, who brings you the water? It's a mystery.

Comedians can articulate some important and profound ideas that address a lot of the hypocrisy we're inundated with (in the media).

Laughing at something is a form of accepting it or at list making peace with it.
