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

Humor is the affectionate communication of insight.

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.

In Buddhism, they say attachment to anything only leads to suffering. So when we laugh, it's our way of saying, 'I'm unattached to that.' You're tickled by it, it makes your lobes do something on their own. So humor is very important to me. I always take that to the stage first.

Humor is an affirmation of dignity, a declaration of man's superiority to all that befalls him.

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