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

"I think great humor lies in playing the truth of a situation. I see myself as a performer and that applies to a Greek drama or a modern comedy."

"...you're either gonna spend your life fucking pussy, or taking it to church."

"It really seems to me that in the midst of great tragedy, there is always the horrible possibility that something terribly funny will happen."

"Let's not call physical comedy falling down and pratfalls. All humor is physical, no matter how you dish it out. It's timing, like a dancer or an athlete would have."

"Comedy is difficult for an actor. But I think I have a good sense of humor and manage to make people laugh and make them happy."

"Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot."

"Comedy is so hard to do, so it was very cool to do dead pan humor."

"There are no bad words. Bad thoughts. Bad intentions, and wooooords."

"Our records, if you have a dark sense of humor, were funny, but our records weren't about comedy. They were about protests, fantasy, confrontation and all that."

"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."

"My tendency to make up stories and lie compulsively for the sake of my own amusement takes up a good portion of my day and provides me with a peace of mind not easily attainable in this economic climate."

"You can never talk religion on network TV. It makes too many people angry. You can talk about sex."

"I was a precocious only child, and then I went through a fat, awkward stage for several years, so I learned to fall back on my humor and personality when I was growing up. It's how you survive, so I think it was more of a natural progression for me, developing into comedy."

"One of my pet peeves is that sometimes the talents of my band get overlooked because, and it was the same problem that Frank Zappa had, with a lot of groups that use humor, people don't realize there's a lot of craft behind the comedy."

"There is no greater power than that of a laugh and happiness is a force which can save a person from the horrors of the world."

"I love to bring humour into my work. Because comedy is not a huge part of the art world. And big-business film takes itself very seriously."

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

"Thankfully, persistence is a great substitute for talent."
