What comes easiest for me is dialogue. Sometimes when my characters are speaking to me, I have to slow them down so that I'm not simply taking dictation.

At the risk of appearing disingenuous, I don't really think of myself as 'writing humor.' I'm simply reporting on the world I observe, which is frequently hilarious.

The easiest and most important thing a family can do is simply have a conversation about what they would do in the event of a disaster and put together a disaster kit.

Cancer isn't going to slow me down.

I never worry about people not taking my work seriously as a result of the humor. In the end, the comic's best trick is the illusion that comedy is effortless. That people imagine what he's doing is easy is an occupational hazard.

When someone screams at me to hurry up, I slow down.
