'Come out' is so funny to me because I've never been in.

The word 'funny' is a bit like the word 'love' - we don't have enough words to describe the many varieties.

A romantic comedy has to be funny and make you think about life but the obstacle that has to be overcome is key.

There's something dangerous about what's funny. Jarring and disconcerting. There is a connection between funny and scary.

Some people can do things and get away with it. Comics are famously like that. Why is it that some guys can say the most horrible things and it's not offensive, it's funny?

I always like to watch comics and it's interesting that you can tell if someone's funny in 10 seconds.

I guess now that I think back, I used to play priest and be a funny priest. I don't know, I grew up in such a Catholic family that I kind of liked to test the boundaries a little bit and I think I had fun watching my mom laugh.

Comedy's so subjective, and if someone comes to watch, doesn't get it, doesn't find it funny, then fine.

The funny thing is people won't let me pay for things. I'll be in a restaurant and the manager will say, 'Oh no, it's on the house.'

The trick is always to write in pairs because if at least two people find it funny, you've immediately halved the odds of it not being funny.
