I don't really dissect comedy. Nothing kills off humor more than overanalyzing it.

The odd thing about comedy is that the more personal you are, the larger the audience.

Silences are the most underrated part of comedy.

We dissect failure a lot more than we dissect success.

The thing about stand-ups is you can't really get good unless you're failing in front of a large number of people. That makes stand-up comedy unique: you need a tremendous amount of reserve within you to take the rejection from the audience, and without it, you can't do anything.

I don't really know how music and comedy are similar. I try never to dissect it theoretically or academically.
