Quote

Humor is a serious thing. I like to think of it as one of our greatest earliest natural resources, which must be preserved at all cost.

If I had no sense of humor, I would long ago have committed suicide.

I don't think that I could have survived in my family without a naughty sense of humor; yeah, absolutely. I think my brother and I both get our senses of humor from our parents. I mean, my mother was absolutely hilarious and foul. She had the most ridiculously off color sense of humor, so that was sort of what we grew up with.

Humor is just another defense against the universe.

Humor is one of the best ingredients of survival.

Humor was not important only for me, humor was important for this nation for centuries, to survive, you know.

Total absence of humor renders life impossible.

I think God gave us senses of humor, and we should use them.

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. That's what I feel living is like, too. I find a lot of things that make me smile or make me laugh over the course of the day.

Perhaps naively I thought people understand what humor was, that it was invented by the human race to cope with the dark areas of life, problems and terrors.
