It's almost impossible to be funnier than the people in Washington.

Funny is funny. I dare anyone to look at Tim Conway and Harvey Korman doing the dentist sketch, which is more than 40 years old, and not scream with laughter.

Pain is funnier than love.

My preference is for people who can do sketch comedy or situational comedy, where it's not a joke, but it's telling a story.

Everybody I know who is funny, it's in them. You can teach timing, or some people are able to tell a joke, though I don't like to tell jokes. But I think you have to be born with a sense of humor and a sense of timing.

I've always been able to recount things, and I have a really good memory about dialog and what people have said before and this and that.
