I learned early in life that laughter is a great way to diffuse and uncomfortable situation, so I began to use that as a tool, throughout my life.

Laughter is one of the very privileges of reason, being confined to the human species.

I don't think any other emotion is the equivalent of laughter. So I do whatever I can to laugh all the time and to hide my pain.

I honestly believe life is a combination of laughter and tears, and it's almost always better to laugh than to cry.

Laughter is important, not only because it makes us happy, it also has actual health benefits. And that's because laughter completely engages the body and releases the mind. It connects us to others, and that in itself has a healing effect.

One of the most beautiful things in the world I've ever seen or heard is people laughing, even when there seems to be so little reason for them to laugh.

Laughing and crying are very similar. They're an extreme response to life. You see it in children who start laughing hysterically.

Laughter is the closest thing to the grace of God.

And I definitely gravitate toward people who use laughter to pull themselves out of the abyss.
