I don't have to come up with a ha-ha belly laugh every day, but drawings with warmth and love or ones that put a lump in the throat. That's more important to me than a laugh.

Laughter is the best medicine - unless you're diabetic, then insulin comes pretty high on the list.

Since the goal of my programs is to show audiences how humor can both help them heal as well as deal with not-so-funny stuff, I decided to discuss the events of the previous week, the pain all of us were feeling, and how humor and some laughter might be beneficial.

When part of what you're trying to get at is the truth hidden under a taboo, or when you want to nail a hypocrisy, laughter is a very useful tool. I want to show the painful side of existence, but there is no question I also want to make people laugh.

People always mention that they'd love to see me in a comedy again. Maybe it's time - laughter being the best medicine.

Originally, with all the shows, we went looking for belly laughs.

I think there should be laughs in everything. Sometimes, it's a slammed door, a pie in the face or just a recognition of our frailties.

Laughter need not be cut out of anything, since it improves everything.

If Heaven exists, to know that there's laughter, that would be a great thing.

I love to see people laugh and I love it more if I can make them laugh.
