I think it would be hard to go the distance in this business without a sense of humor.

Humor's an excellent way to make a point more palatable and/or relatable.

I think humor can be an effective way of getting the point across, but there are definitely times where I just write very earnestly.

I think humor is used a lot of the time to keep people from getting too close. Humor side-steps and shifts the meaning.

People always ask me how I manage to find humor in so much bleakness. I think this is almost a necessary skill to have.

I've always been very upfront about the way I write, and I've always used the tools humorists use, such as exaggeration.

Humor writing is something that comes naturally to me.

I've learned to start from a really sound argument, boil down the essence of what you're trying to say, then build your humor around that, rather than starting with, 'This sounds funny,' and going from there.

When humor works, it works because it's clarifying what people already feel. It has to come from someplace real.

I connect to humor really deeply, so I feel really comfortable just being in funny projects.
