I don't think it's possible to have a sense of tragedy without having a sense of humor.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's no life without humour. It can make the wonderful moments of life truly glorious, and it can make tragic moments bearable.
I'm sure there are people who survive tragedy without humor, but I've never met any of them. Nor would I be particularly interested in writing about them if I did meet them.
I've always been drawn to discomfort and that limbo of unease you get between comedy and tragedy. Making people laugh one moment and the next making them feel really uncomfortable.
Why do we laugh at such terrible things? Because comedy is often the sarcastic realization of inescapable tragedy.
Comedy is much more difficult than tragedy-and a much better training, I think. It's much easier to make people cry than to make them laugh.

Comedy is tragedy that happens to other people.
I realized I do tragedy better than comedy.
You can't be funny unless you're tragic, and you can't be tragic unless you're funny.
I think you figure out how to be funny by necessity. It's not a natural thing, being funny in the face of tragedy is kind of demented.
