"The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think."

"I loved Peter Sellers. I thought he was the perfect mix of physical comedy with out-of-the-box humor. I loved his tone; I loved his physicality; I loved everything about what he was doing as a comedic actor."

"When you're doing an out-and-out comedy, the notion of preparing for a character - I hope I don't reveal too much of myself here - but, uh, no, I'm not doing anything."

"Sort of' is such a harmless thing to say... sort of. It's just a filler. Sort of... it doesn't really mean anything. But after certain things, sort of means everything. Like... after "I love you"... or "You're going to live"... or "It's a boy!"

"One of the things that would be great is to some day have so many women comedy writers that we wouldn't say there's just one type of female humor. There's lots."

"I’m not aspiring to be someone else – If I’m me for the rest of my life then so be it"

"Each of us is full of shit in our own special way. We are all shitty little snowflakes dancing in the universe."

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

"I try to give all my characters a sense of humor, so I guess I feel like I have done comedy, but maybe I'm better known for drama."

"Life is a comedy to those who think, a tragedy to those who feel."

"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."

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

"The stalker, meanwhile, stepped into the road. Didn’t even check for traffic. There wasn’t any, but something told me this was lucky for traffic rather than the stalker."

"Life doesn't make any sense, and we all pretend it does. Comedy's job is to point out that it doesn't make sense, and that it doesn't make much difference anyway."

"So you want me to go to a human orgy, where I will not be welcome, and you want us to leave before I get to enjoy myself? ~Eric Northman"

"Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You."

"We're all screwed up. And the way Christians mess things up is we act like we've got it going on. And if we would just stay in that place of, 'Hey, we're all screwed up and but for the grace of God, none of us have a shot here.' We need to have a sense of humor about it; that's kind of the way I've always faced my comedy."

"Cause if you shoot a bullet someone dies. If you drop a bomb many die. You hit a woman, love dies. But if you say the F-word... nothing actually happens."

"Humor is very interesting to me. My films are not comedies, but there's comedy in them from time to time, absurdities, just like in real life."
