Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die.

Life literally abounds in comedy if you just look around you.

Rhetoric does not get you anywhere, because Hitler and Mussolini are just as good at rhetoric. But if you can bring these people down with comedy, they stand no chance.

I'll accept bad taste in a minute, as long as there's some great comedy minds and performances.

Tragedy is a close-up; comedy, a long shot.

The only difference between a comedy and a tragedy is at which point the story ends.
