That's the beauty of being a comedian - it's the one job you're allowed to do that. We're lucky. We're really lucky.
For the most part, comedians are pretty friendly with each other. They always say they badmouth each other, but most of the time, they're friends. We're the only ones that can really stand our type of humor.
I'm always working on stuff. But they never materialize. I'm always working on movies and TV shows.
Everybody's got a different sense of humor. It's just different styles.
You know how it is with writing. You just write what you want to write. There's no way to predict what is good or bad. You just do what you think is funny, and either it works or you're finished. It's impossible to predict anything.
He is very dry but also very funny... I think people tend to feel odd when I do my act. Unless you are an ironic person, it's not a good place for you to be.
You can't make everybody laugh. You gotta just do what you think is funny. Just be obstreperous to everybody.
You know, the funny thing about Lorne and that show is that, you can go over one million things, but in a business of bean counters, he still likes to laugh at small things and creates a show around it.
Everybody's funny in different ways.
Marie Antoinette was funny, I'm sure she was just misinterpreted. You know the 'Let them eat cake' line. She seems like she was kind of funny, like a Chelsea Handler or Kathy Griffin type.
