I think a good dollop of sadness is quite a useful thing in comedy sometimes. I think if everyone's happy all the time, it's a bit dull. It's like salt and caramel - you wouldn't imagine they would go well together, but they do.

Humor does not rescue us from unhappiness, but enables us to move back from it a little.

It's funny because being comedic and happy and lighthearted is who I am as a person, so they're easier emotions for me to connect with.

I'm trying to make sure that there's comedy as well as sadness. It makes the sadness more memorable.

I think in life, the sense of humor and comedy always exists.

I can see the humorous side of things and enjoy the fun when it comes; but look where I will, there seems to me always more sadness than joy in life.

I think, in our darkest moments, you have to find the humor, and you have to find the lightness.

Life is tragic comedy, in a way. There is humor.

Even in the depths of dreadful situations, there's usually something rather comic, or something you can laugh about afterwards, at least. So, I do look for the comedy in those things.
