I wanted to cut down on the profanity, because I think I'm funnier without sayin' a lot of cuss words.
While 'The Middle' is still funny for adults to watch, there aren't sex jokes. And I'm fine with that. I like the idea that my nieces and nephews can watch it without their parents.
I like people who can make you laugh without using vulgarity, or bad words.
I read in the 'Daily Mail' that I'm one of these 'foul-mouthed comedians.' But I'm much cleaner than the people they like. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than to think that a 70-year-old - particularly someone like Alan Bennett - would like it, because they've seen a lot of stuff.
We didn't choose the joke because it's filthy! We chose it because of the structure!
I think the world has their own good, clean, Christian comedy. They don't need my help.
I've never been a dirty comic.
Bill Cosby was the first comedian I was exposed to, because he doesn't curse.
It was a JOB; the video show was a JOB; you don't tell the Aristocrats joke at 8 o'clock at night on network tv, it would be funny though. But those guys know I like dirty stuff, I like clean stuff too.
I'd rather get a good clean laugh with good material, than an easy laugh by swearing or shocking. That's not clever or comedic, anybody can get a laugh that way, it's too easy.
I'm always ready for TV. I don't have to edit my jokes - when you work clean, you can work anywhere.
If it's dirty, it's not funny, but if it's funny, it's not dirty.
My stand-up act is very clean.
I don't think there's hardly a comic out there that does clean material all the way around. There's a couple of guys that are clean, but I'm not one of them.
It takes both courage and talent to stand up in front of fellow human beings and make them crack a smile, and at the same time keep it clean.
Some comedians tell nice jokes that you can tell to your kids. Some use bad words - they work 'blue.' If you don't want to hear a joke that's blue, you shouldn't go to a comedy club where a comedian who makes blue jokes is performing.
Keeping it clean is important to me because I'm just aware of my audience. My audience is a younger generation and, just in general, I wouldn't want to show my mom a video of me swearing like crazy. It's good clean fun.
My stand-up is clean; it's not too edgy. I've played it safe since the beginning.
In all my content I don't really swear or use profanity, because I believe comedy can just be pure.
There is nothing finer in the world than the telling of tales. Split atoms if you wish, but splitting an infinitive-and getting away with it-is far nobler. Lance boils if you wish, but pricking pretensions is often cleaner and always more fun.
Even when low-brow comedy ruled, I ensured my lines were not vulgar.
