I think I'm too cynical for L.A. My sense of humor doesn't go down well here which probably affects my love life. I need to have a laugh track following me around so people know I'm trying to be funny.

But if you don't watch me I will try and sneak in some humor. I see humor everywhere in life around me.

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.

I remember when humor was gentle pokes. I used to call it 'arm around the shoulder' humor. Now they go for the jugular and they take no prisoners. It's mean mean stuff.

Humor does not diminish the pain - it makes the space around it get bigger.

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

Being an artist is a very long game. It is not a 10-year game. I hope I'll be around making art when I'm 80.

I hope to be around past the 90's. I don't want to just be categorized as one of this era. My goal is to have a career that stands.

I do sometimes strongly hope that in a past life my most recent life before this I was absolutely horrible evil hideous. Because otherwise - well hell to even things up next time around I'm going to have to pay for this one am I not?

Americans appreciate the way our friends around the world are sticking by us and we all hope for their continued support in what's going to be some very trying times.
