Every job from the heart is, ultimately, of equal value. The nurse injects the syringe; the writer slides the pen; the farmer plows the dirt; the comedian draws the laughter. Monetary income is the perfect deceiver of a man's true worth.

The ones who constantly make us laugh are the hardest of friends to know - for comedians are the caricatures among us.

To be a philosopher, just reverse everything you have ever been told...and have a sense of humor doing it.

Comedy to me has always seemed a social tightrope for the comedian. For all axioms intellectually sound the general public would prefer to be amused, but in those emotionally sound, it then chooses to get offended.

An assumption is the joke; truth the punchline.
