I think the negative traits are what makes us love other human beings, the foibles and the flaws.

I believe that, by and large, people are good and everybody you meet is more likely to surprise you in a positive way than in a negative way.

Whoever loves becomes humble. Those who love have, so to speak, pawned a part of their narcissism.

There are people who can't stand me, they say, 'God, he makes me sick', or, 'He's creepy', but it doesn't affect me too badly.

Humility is always a good thing. It's always a good thing to be humbled by circumstances so you can then come from a sincere place to try to deal with them.

I think we all have our demons and our various shortcomings, and it would be nice if people felt more gently about other people, but also about themselves.

Kindness and intelligence don't always deliver us from the pitfalls and traps: there are always failures of love, of will, of imagination. There is no way to take the danger out of human relationships.

I would say that I have a love-hate relationship with almost everything in my life, including stand-up.

As we look around, it's very clear that in this world people do outrageous things to one another all of the time. It's not that these qualities or actions make us bad people, but they bring tremendous suffering if we don't know how to work with them.

I think there is a tendency for people to get rigid and caught up in their beliefs of what is right and wrong, and they lose sight of humanity. Being human has to come first before right or wrong.
