I think there's something really thrilling to having to get people laughing about something, and then, when you have them in that comfort space, you can drop the weight into the texture of the story.

If one tends to be a humorous person and you have a sense of humor the rest of your life then you can certainly lighten the load, I think, by bringing that to your trials and tribulations. It's easy to have a sense of humor when everything is going well.

If you stop and think about it, nearly all great humor is at the expense of someone or something.

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

I can't not find humor in elements of most parts of life, but at the same time nothing ever seems perpetually funny to me.

It's so easy to judge everybody and for some reason extra weight is the one thing everything feels OK to joke about.

I know what it feels like to carry a lot of weight in a society that's very image-conscious. It's a thin person's world, and we try to navigate within it without being made fun of.

Humor has become so cliche and boring that nothing's funny anymore unless it involves something totally disgusting that offends somebody or makes them feel really uncomfortable.

I realize that humor isn't for everyone. It's only for people who want to have fun, enjoy life, and feel alive.

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.
