I'm not a particularly dark individual. I have my moments, it's true, but I do have a sense of humor.

The times I've tried not to be funny, it's never worked, and the times I'm trying not to be dark and just be funny, that never works, either. As varied as my subject matter is, I think the worldview is pretty consistent: seeing darkness and seeing humor.

Well, darkness with humor... I'm not an extremely suicidal or sad person.

What other people call dark and despairing, I call funny.

Well, life is dark, isn't it? Mostly, it's dreadful. At the same time, death is funny too. I mean, look at the fuss we make of it.

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

It is a dark, dark world. If you're going to be in a dark world, I can't think of any better one to be in. I still think I'm very lucky to be in it.

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

I have always been a dark writer.

I don't try and be dark, but there are obviously darker emotions that I want to capture sometimes.
