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.
To me, in life, if you have a sense of humor about it, that's how you deal with anything.
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.
Even the most tragic moments can have moments of comedy.
I'm somebody who can laugh even at myself. That happens now and again, when I've made a mess of really simple things.
That is the saving grace of humor, if you fail no one is laughing at you.
It's always good to take something that's happened in your life and make something of it comedically.
The embarrassment of a situation can, once you are over it, be the funniest time in your life. And I suppose a lot of my comedy comes from painful moments or experiences in life, and you just flip them on their head.
It's good to laugh at times that feel inappropriate.
Sometimes the very best way to deal with unpleasant things is to depict them in ways that allow people to laugh at them and destroy the power of unsayable things, rather than refusing to acknowledge them.
You can get through very serious and sometimes horrible and sometimes embarrassing and very awkward situations with humor. It gives us a way out.
Sometimes, humor is the only way we get through the day.
In Australia, even the darkest subject matter has a little pinch of humor. A little sweet to make the sour go down.
There's a thing in comedy where you take one step into a bad idea, but if you take 10, then it becomes a good idea again.
Even in times of great sadness, there are always moments where we crack up.
