I think at its best the American sense of humor is the same as the British sense of humor at its best, which is to be wry and ironic and self deprecating.

I like a very dry wit, not the big kind of humor like Robin Williams. I don't think I'm capable of that.

Humor is perhaps a sense of intellectual perspective: an awareness that some things are really important, others not; and that the two kinds are most oddly jumbled in everyday affairs.

Wit is the appearance, the external flash of imagination. Thus its divinity, and the witty character of mysticism.

I don't want to sound facetious, but humour is the key to the soul. You know what I mean?

A sense of humor is the ability to understand a joke - and that the joke is oneself.

I didn't think that anything is beyond humor - not profane humor, but a good, honest approach to humor.

In conversation, humor is worth more than wit and easiness more than knowledge.
