Everything starts with writing. And then to support your vision, your ideas, your philosophy, your jokes, whatever, you've gotta perform them and/or direct them, or sometimes just produce them.

My job is to go out and entertain the most people possible.

I loved Westerns as a little kid, and I loved horror films.

I'm rather secular. I'm basically Jewish. But I think I'm Jewish not because of the Jewish religion at all.

The first ingredient in conversation is truth, the next good sense, the third good humor, and the fourth wit.

Comedy is so subjective, you know what I mean? To sit there and technically pick it apart is so stupid.

Never make a joke or try for humor at someone else's expense. In a high-stakes environment, everyone needs to feel safe.

My reputation as a ladies' man was a joke. It caused me to laugh bitterly through the 10,000 nights I spent alone.
