I have this horrible sense of humor where I think discomfort is funny - partly because I experience discomfort a lot, and it's a way of laughing at it and getting a release.

Humor is a very important thing. It is a natural predilection. It is an emotional release.

Humor is a social lubricant that helps us get over some of the bad spots.

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

When I started, I wanted to be thought of as tortured and seductive, not funny, but humor tends to be a reflexive part of a person's sensibility. It's an almost impossible thing to teach anyone, which leads me to believe that it's intuitive.

To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain, and play with it!

Humor comes from the surprise release of some buried tension.

The sense of humor has other things to do than to make itself conspicuous in the act of laughter.

The real reason for comedy is to hide the pain.

Humor is the affectionate communication of insight.
