In Buddhism, they say attachment to anything only leads to suffering. So when we laugh, it's our way of saying, 'I'm unattached to that.' You're tickled by it, it makes your lobes do something on their own. So humor is very important to me. I always take that to the stage first.

You can turn painful situations around through laughter. If you can find humor in anything, even poverty, you can survive it.

Very few things are totally devoid of any possibility of humor. If you are aware of that possibility and alive to the scene becoming that way, then it just happens naturally.

It's good to be able to laugh at yourself and the problems you face in life. Sense of humor can save you.
