Humor is always based on a modicum of truth. Have you ever heard a joke about a father-in-law?

Don't wish me happiness - I don't expect to be happy it's gotten beyond that somehow. Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor - I will need them all.

Comedy is so hard to do so it was very cool to do dead pan humor.

Both conservatives and liberals watch 'Parks and Recreation ' and they each think the show is for them which is really cool. 'SNL' was totally different. It was exciting because everyone was paying attention. Political humor works when people know what you're talking about.

I think people appreciate a songwriter who shows different sides. The whole angst thing is cool but if that's all you've got it's just boring. Everything I write whether it's happy or sad has a sense of humor to it.

Like a welcome summer rain humor may suddenly cleanse and cool the earth the air and you.

Humor is the affectionate communication of insight.

Humor is one of the best ingredients of survival.

Dad needs to show an incredible amount of respect and humor and friendship toward his mate so the kids understand their parents are sexy they're fun they do things together they're best friends. Kids learn by example. If I respect Mom they're going to respect Mom.

Good humor is a tonic for mind and body. It is the best antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a business asset. It attracts and keeps friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and contentment.
