Quote

Americans are pragmatic, relatively uncomplicated, hearty and given to broad humor.

American people have the ability to laugh at themselves. It is one of the things that makes this country the great country that it is.

I don't know if my sense of humor goes over Americans' heads.

There's a physicality and confidence to Americans; they're very present. That's something I enjoy being around because it rubs off on you.

And I think Americans are phenomenal people.

I think that humor has become a principle means of communication among Americans about politics.

Humor is so important to the American scene throughout history.

The greatness of Americans is that we are mosaic - we are diverse.

I think at its best the American sense of humor is the same as the British sense of humor at its best, which is to be wry and ironic and self deprecating.

I always thought the biggest failing of Americans was their lack of irony. They are very serious there! Naturally, there are exceptions... the Jewish, Italian, and Irish humor of the East Coast.
