Humor expands our limited picture frame and gets us to see more than just our problem.

Philip Larkin has a tough honesty and sense of humor that I find irresistible, as a contemporary poet.

Sometimes the only way to make palatable that which is appalling and apprehensive is to season it with some humor.

My humor tends to be a little more edgy than is appropriate for 'Twilight,' although I got some in there. That was fun! There's just a tonal difference. For me, storytelling is storytelling. But, I do like writing for grown ups.

Everybody's got a different sense of humor. It's just different styles.

For the most part, comedians are pretty friendly with each other. They always say they badmouth each other, but most of the time, they're friends. We're the only ones that can really stand our type of humor.

I used to watch 'The Waltons' and sob because my family was nothing like that. We had a cruel sense of humor in my family.

Insult is powerful. Insult begets both rage and humor and often at the same time.

I think in my case, I had no choice but to have a good sense of humor. I grew up with my dad, Danny Thomas, and George Burns and Bob Hope and Milton Berle and Sid Caesar and all those guys were at our house all the time and telling jokes and making each other laugh.

Bathroom humor, fart, and poo poo humor in movies gets a laugh. It's a pretty easy audience, and that's been around for ages.
