Never lose sight of the fact that all human felicity lies in man's imagination and that he cannot think to attain it unless he heeds all his caprices. The most fortunate of persons is he who has the most means to satisfy his vagaries.

Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not and therefore the fount of all invention and innovation. In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity it is the power to that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared.

The human race is governed by its imagination.

Maybe there's a chance to get back to grown-up films. Anything that uses humor and dramatic values to deal with human emotions and gets down to what people are to people.

Perhaps naively I thought people understand what humor was that it was invented by the human race to cope with the dark areas of life problems and terrors.

I love doing comedy. You don't get many good comedy scripts. They're rare. But I do love playing comedy. Even in drama I like to try to find the humor because I think it's very human.

I suppose I look for humor in most situations because it humanizes things it makes a character much more three-dimensional if there's some kind of humor. Not necessarily laugh-out-loud type of stuff just a sense that there is a humorous edge to things. I do like that.

Our ability to find humor in the world to make connections between previously unconnected notions to create new ideas to share in a common culture: All these essentially human acts depend on memory.

There are two insults no human being will endure: that he has no sense of humor and that he has never known trouble.

It is characteristic of all deep human problems that they are not to be approached without some humor and some bewilderment.
