I don’t really dissect comedy. Nothing kills off humor more than overanalyzing it.

I used to have a theory actually that, if you’ve had a good childhood, a good marriage and a little bit of money in the bank, you’re going to make a lousy comedian.
– David Steinberg
Your relationship with an agent has got to be mutually beneficial. If you can’t help their careers, then they’re not going to be interested.

When I started, you didn’t make a lot of money by being a comedian. You didn’t get a lot of respect.

– Edie Falco
Coming home to my family afterward makes the work richer, easier and more fun.
– Edie Falco
We’re living in a time when parenting is not at all mirroring the way I was parented. For me, I just followed my parents around on their errands when they were busy on the phone, I was quiet. It’s a different kettle of fish these days: They run the house, and you listen to their music, and you go to their appointments.
– Edie Falco
I’m not sad about any of my life. It’s so unconventional. It doesn’t look anything like I thought it would.

Beauty is a precious trace that eternity causes to appear to us and that it takes away from us. A manifestation of eternity, and a sign of death as well.
– Eugene Ionesco
No society has been able to abolish human sadness, no political system can deliver us from the pain of living, from our fear of death, our thirst for the absolute. It is the human condition that directs the social condition, not vice versa.
