You can only be funny if you have matters of great importance on your mind.
To me, being funny is more important than making a point, but I don't know. Most politicians are so interested in making points that they don't ... I'd rather be funny myself, and I'd rather listen to somebody with a little sense of humor.
Some had rather lose their friend then their Jest.
We couldn't live without comedy.
It's true, of course, humor is very important in my life, as you know. That's the only reason for living, in fact.
I feel humor is important for those two reasons: that it is a little bit of refreshment like music, and that women have told me over the years that it is very, very important to them.
Without humor, I cannot go on and I doubt many of my readers would go on either. Humor is so important. I am here to have fun here with my work.
Nothing is more comical than seriousness understood as a virtue that has to precede all important literature
There are people that say you should never use humor to talk about anything that's important or hard, and since I don't believe that, at some point there has to be a level of "agree to disagree."
