I am as miserable as anyone - sometimes.

Nothing is miserable unless you think it is so.

I'm never more miserable than when I write, and never more happy than having finished and having it sitting in front of me.

When you're miserable, you don't want anyone around you to be happy.

I think at times I appear to be miserable when I am not... I might be having quite a good thought at that moment, but it seems I look miserable. I am not.

I used to think you had to live this miserable life and that that would make you funnier, but you don't. The misery will come. The misery will find you.

I am quite miserable because I'm never satisfied with what I've got. You're always looking for that next high, and that is what I would define as happiness.

You can't always look at life as a miserable thing.

People tend to think I'm funny and fluffy, but I can switch on a sixpence from extreme happiness to utter despair. I'm aware that doesn't make it easy for people sometimes.

The secret of being miserable is to have leisure to bother about whether you are happy or not. The cure for it is occupation.
