Writing Is The Basis Of All, Because Creating Something That Didn't Even Exist Before Is Like Taking An Empty Canvass. It Is A Wonderful Thing To Make Something Out Of Nothing. You've Got An Empty Page, You've Got An Idea, And Then You Start Typing And That Is The Most Thrilling Thing Of All. And Then If It Becomes A Movie Or Something Else That's A Plus, But The Original Writing Of It Is What's Very Exciting.

A Fellow Who Has A Funny Bone Can Learn To Hone His Skills, But I Don't Think You Can Develop A Funny Bone - You Either Have It Or You Don't. And By The Way - When You Get It, We Don't Know It.

I Think That Comedy Really Tells You How It Is. The Other Thing About Comedy Is That - You Don't Even Know If You're Failing In Drama, But You Do Know When You're Failing In Comedy. When You Go To A Comedy And You Don't Hear Anybody Laughing, You Know That You've Failed.

I Write Books That Way - I Put A First Line Down And Say, "where Does This Go?"

Comedians Are Really Writers Who Don't Have Pens And Pencils About Them, But They Riff.
