"I think satire is a very effective way of exposing hypocrisy."

"I'm not trying to change the world. I'm just trying to make people think."

"I think the fundamental difference between the British sense of humor and the American is that the British are looking for irony, and the Americans are looking for sincerity."

"My job is to make people laugh, and if they learn something along the way, that's a bonus."

"The problem with comedy is that it's subjective. What one person finds hilarious, another person finds offensive. And that's the tightrope I walk."
