Something about not waiting for the laugh of a laugh track allows you to take lines that otherwise might be seen as just direct jokes, and make them seem realistic.

When you don't have a laugh track, you can make the clothes funny. We can make a sign funny. We can make the way somebody walks funny. The makeup can be funny.

You know, 'The Golden Girls' was a very unusual show to start on. I was young, and it was a show about old people, and it was a very traditional show, but it was also an amazing training ground for a joke-writer. It forced me to learn those skills.

If you can make me laugh, my heart is yours! I think there's nothing more attractive than someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously.

There are just things you can explore in a movie that you can't in 22 minutes with a laugh track.

You have to make them laugh and then make them listen.
