I was thinking about … how disarming is the ability to make people laugh. It’s a gift, mimicry, but it’s not acting; in a way it’s the opposite of acting, which is why comedians are seldom good actors.

People are drawn to the funnyman who can imitate a politician or a famous actor or an ethnic type, especially his own ethnic type.
