Anyone who is considered funny will tell you, sometimes without even your asking, that deep inside they are very serious, neurotic, introspective people.

About This Quote

If you are considered funny, you have to accept that sometimes the jokes will be on you. A big part of being funny is being able to laugh at yourself. If you are serious and neurotic, there is little chance of people finding you funny. A lot of the time comedians are good at ridiculing themselves. But looking at things from outside, they are often very different from how they see themselves.
