Irony is a great tool to deal with things. It's an intellectualization, a way to go above things, which can work.

I don't embrace irony, but I do think it's a pre-existing condition; we manage it as best we can.

A vast percentage of the human race is literally not wired neurologically to get irony. Well more than half of humanity takes life at face value, which is to me terrifying.

The great thing about irony is that it splits things apart, gets up above them so we can see the flaws and hypocrisies and duplicates.

I have wit in my work and a sense of humor, but I do not use irony in any way.

Irony is the form of paradox. Paradox is what is good and great at the same time.

There are elements of irony in my work, of course.

In a world where irony reigns, where you have to separate, protect and laugh at anything that is honest or has an emotional charge, I bet for catharsis. I like to invest emotionally in things. And catharsis, when it touches the emotional vein, can open the doors of even those who protect themselves.

We should try to understand our innermost needs. We shouldn't use irony to reduce their power.

Irony is the hygiene of the mind.
