When we are dealing with death we are constantly being dragged down by the event: Humor diverts our attention and lifts our sagging spirits.

There is humor in the darkest of moments - People who I have loved and passed away, and very high stake situations where you can't help but laugh. I think that's very human.

People who have any kind of illness use humor as a type of coping.

So many things that happen to you are so dreadful, it's important to have a sense of humour.

Whenever dark things happen in my life, there is always some dark humour.

Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it.

I think, in our darkest moments, you have to find the humor, and you have to find the lightness.

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

I don't think it's possible to have a sense of tragedy without having a sense of humor.

I think you figure out how to be funny by necessity. It's not a natural thing, being funny in the face of tragedy is kind of demented.
