True humor springs not more from the head than from the heart. It is not contempt its essence is love. It issues not in laughter but in still smiles which lie far deeper.

Anybody with a sense of humor is going to put on my album and laugh from beginning to end.

There is a thin line that separates laughter and pain comedy and tragedy humor and hurt.

Through humor you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter no matter how painful your situation might be you can survive it.

Humor distorts nothing and only false gods are laughed off their earthly pedestals.

Humor can alter any situation and help us cope at the very instant we are laughing.

A laugh is a surprise. And all humor is physical. I was always athletic so that came naturally to me.

Humor is laughing at what you haven't got when you ought to have it.

You can turn painful situations around through laughter. If you can find humor in anything even poverty you can survive it.

You learn timing on the road. You learn structure and how to read an audience. You learn so much about the business of laughter that you can't learn on a set because it's all on you. Sometimes you bomb and you know not to tell that joke again... You just hope people find the humor in the awkwardness.
