Fairytales were never really meant for children; they were meant as cautionary tales for teenagers on the verge of growing up.

Stories are like that. Like cities, they are built on the stones and bones of the past.

Storytelling is as old as speech. It existed before humans first began to carve shapes in stones and press their hands upon the rocky walls of caves.

When our ancestors crouched about the camp fire at night, they told each other tales of gods and heroes, monsters and marvels, to hold back the terrors of the night. Such tales comforted and entertained, diverted and educated those who listened, and helped shape their sense of the world and their place in it.

It's my theory that comedy is going to die out in the year 6000.

I think you can tell the human condition better through comedy.

We've always had a philosophy that we would always go wherever the joke is.

Life is neither comedy or tragedy, life is what you make of it.
