My dad instilled in me a great sense of humor. I wasn't bullied at school because my outward attitude was confident, and that helps.

I could not tread these perilous paths in safety, if I did not keep a saving sense of humor.

Hateful words stand no chance against self-worth and a little of humor.

I compare Stephen Sondheim with humor, because humor is unanalyzable. You can't analyze humor. You just have to get through it.

I can imagine no more comfortable frame of mind for the conduct of life than a humorous resignation.

Humor is the most precious gift I can give to my reader, a reminder that the world is not such a terribly serious place. There is more than video games and drugs and nuclear threats; there is laughter, and there is hope.

For me, the ideal job as an actor would be something that is intrinsically a drama but to which I could bring in as much humor as possible.

You feel like you need to deal with a lot if you're from Cleveland, so you learn to let things roll off your back, and you learn that humor is the best way to deal with it.

I think that there's always a time to be tongue-in-cheek, and there's always time for humor, but there's a time to be serious and a time for emotional content.

I think you have to have a sense of humor about every movie that you're doing. Your character needs to be relatable in a way that, even when you're doing the most bizarre things, sometimes a bit of tongue in cheek is necessary to keep up the believability of it.

I don't feel that I'm strictly Danish; I don't feel that my sense of humor is strictly Danish or my human sensibility is strictly Danish.

I like to deal with EVERY aspect of our condition, and that means terror and humor in equal mix. Some books have more room for humor than others.

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

Long back, I did a television show 'Gharwali Uparwali,' and it was appreciated for its light-hearted humor.

'24' is a pretty serious show - there isn't a lot of improv that is happening. Having said that, I do play around with the delivery. A lot of the humor comes from playing a character who is very furious and really up in her own brain and in a serious situation. That is humorous to me.

I actually have a pretty good sense of humor.

Being Jewish is a big part of my artistic sensibility and my humor... I think it gives me a certain take on the world on a literary level.

One seldom expects the country's president to adequately note the passing of a rocker, but Jimmy Carter's assessment of Elvis Presley's appeal - 'energy, rebelliousness and good humor' - is remarkably close to the mark.

People think I'm a very serious actor, which I am. But you know, if you don't have a sense of humor doing what I do, you perish.
