Humor is unavoidable. It might not feel funny in the moment, but more often than not there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
Laughing about something is one of the more accessible ways to approach a difficult issue.
There's a humorous side to every situation. The challenge is to find it.
There's a joke in everything, the trick is finding it. The best compliment a joke can get is what Huxley said about Darwin's theory of evolution - 'Why didn't I think of that?'
Within any drama in anyone's life, there's always a way to find the humor in it. Without humor no one cares about whatever drama is going on.
My mum passing away wasn't funny, but that funeral and what I went through, the things that happened, looking back at it, there were funny moments. You have to be strong enough to look back at it, to sit and assess the situation.
That is the key to navigating this life - don't take it too seriously. That's when the party begins.
I started finding humor in everything. I used to watch a lot of TV, and I finally figured I didn't need to watch TV to find funny stuff. I just watch the commercials. I mean, the commercials just blew my mind.
... life is a comedy far darker than drama. It just takes time to learn what to smile at.
Every thing in this world, said my father, is big with jest,--and has wit in it, and instruction too,--if we can but find it out.
Humor is everything. Everything. Usually the negatives turned out to be the most positive for me. In the music industry, any other artist would have looked at the situation I was in and thought, "Oh man, this is not for me." I looked at it more like Darwin exploring the Galápagos Islands. You know - survival of the fittest.
I think it's important to find humor anywhere you can. In real life, with the darkest, scariest, most intense moments, if you can find something funny, that's good.
Everything is funny, if you can laugh at it.
If you’ve got the comedy eye, you can look at any situation and see the humor in it while others don’t.
I think my general disposition on life is finding what's funny about it. When something happens, the first thing in my mind is, "What's funny about it?"
Many people think making a film about history... about war... about the Holocaust, it might be heavy, dramatic and traumatic. I don't see things like that... you can find irony everywhere. It's how I look at life.
Sometimes I make myself laugh, but that's because I appreciate my sense of humor.
Look for the ridiculous in everything and you will find it.
I can see the humor in just about any situation. After I lost my dad, I realized that none of us should take things too seriously, because everything except death works itself out.
You have to know where the funny is, and if you know where the funny is, you know everything.
Sometimes you're not getting the laughs you want or at the place you want but that doesn't mean it's not funny. It means you haven't explored it enough.
