Quote

All disgust is originally disgust at touching.

Humor reminds you, when you're flattened by sorrow, that you're still human.

When I'm being funny, I try not to offend. I don't think much of what I've done has been in really ghastly taste. I don't think I have embarrassed many people or distressed them.

When I'm not thrilled, I get funny.

I spent the first 22 years of my life absorbing everything, like a big disgusting cell, and now I'm disgorging it with jokes added out into the world. That's a really gross metaphor.

Fortunately, I am accustomed to creating amusement inadvertently.

I think there's a little confusion between humor and 'gross' passing for humor. That's kind of regrettable, because they aren't the same thing.

I'm not as thrilled with myself as I used to be.

Humor has become so cliche and boring that nothing's funny anymore unless it involves something totally disgusting that offends somebody or makes them feel really uncomfortable.

I felt profoundly ashamed, I was very much upset.
