Writing humor is not something every single person can do.

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

Humor writing requires a rhythm and timing, as well as some kind of connection to the reader, and I think that's how I tap into it.

I never write anything without humor, just because I like humor, but at the same time, it is a way for anything fantastical to become relatable.

I'm a novelist first, and I wrote a bunch of books, and everything I write, I just find people are more interesting when there's an element of humor to it.

When I'm with other people who inspire my silliness or sense of humor, I'm funny. When I sit down to write, it's hard not to be funny.

It's very hard to write humor.

I regard the writing of humor as a supreme artistic challenge.

And, you know, I liked writing humor. Well, I should say, I wanted to write seriously, but it kept turning funny.

Everyone who has ever met me for at least five minutes knows I'm a really funny person. I love to laugh and to make people laugh, so writing comedy comes naturally to me.
