Quote

If we can't laugh at ourselves and the human condition, we're going to be mean.

Humor and seriousness are not in opposition to each other.

Humor comes from self-confidence.

I don't understand how somebody wouldn't have a sense of humor about themselves.

Trying to make strangers laugh is crazy and more than a little narcissistic.

Sometimes the only way to deal with horrific things in life is through a dark sense of humor.

When I started, I wanted to be thought of as tortured and seductive, not funny, but humor tends to be a reflexive part of a person's sensibility. It's an almost impossible thing to teach anyone, which leads me to believe that it's intuitive.

Everybody that's living in this earth is living in a situation. It's not narrow-minded to the point where everybody is serious and nobody has a personality. I think people die telling jokes.

Humor is an affirmation of dignity, a declaration of man's superiority to all that befalls him.

People with a sense of humor tend to be less egocentric and more realistic in their view of the world and more humble in moments of success and less defeated in times of travail.
