I stay far away from political humor.
Dali had a good sense of humor – obviously you could tell just looking at him; he was funny.
If you look at terrorists, they really have no sense of humor.
With Portlandia, I don’t think our intention is always to find something funny. Sometimes the humor comes from taking something really seriously. We’re okay with making somebody feel uncomfortable or uneasy.
It’s curious that apart from the baroque ranting, ‘Sarah & Duck’ is very similar to ‘The Thick Of It’ – great characters, excellent writing and lots of humor!
The one thing I didn’t expect was to learn how much of a sense of humor Jerry Reinsdorf has. He’s really funny. I never got a chance to see his sense of humor when I was working for him or playing for him.
I find intelligence sexy. I find a sense of humor sexy. I find sensitivity sexy.
Low’ was probably the album that influenced me more than any other, because of how it combined humor and impressive, glamorous, driving energy with this totally surreal soundscape production.
I have a very dark sense of humor. I swear. I have a very playful relationship with Jesus.
The waltz is a very important part of my life. It’s a very important way for me to express my positiveness, bringing humor to the world.
Humor has become so cliche and boring that nothing’s funny anymore unless it involves something totally disgusting that offends somebody or makes them feel really uncomfortable.
I think a lot of people, when they don’t quite fit in in the world, use humor to combat that and to find their place in society.
He used humor more effectively than any president since Abraham Lincoln. Reagan was not an especially warm person, but he appeared to be. Many people disliked his policies, but almost no one disliked him.
The rejection that we all take and the sadness and the aggravation and the loss of jobs and all of the things that we live through in our lives, without a sense of humor, I don’t know how people make it.
I don’t think humor is forced upon my universe; it’s a part of it.
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.
I’ve always liked using humor, but what I had to with ‘Chewing Gum’ was take out a lot of darkness so it would be a bit more feel-good.
You can’t do anything to be funny. That’s cringeworthy. If your humor comes out of a place of love every time, you don’t make the joke bigger than you. The funniest comedians are in touch with their emotional level.
People are wired for lots of things. We’re wired for novelty. We’re wired for humor. We’re wired for new pieces of information that surprise us in some way or add value to our lives. We’re wired for fear.
But because it was able to balance that kind of humor with a sweet story and characters you really rooted for and also got across the girls’ point of view, I’ve heard nothing but great things from younger and older females as well.
Two young actresses I admire are Emma Stone and Emma Watson, because they are intelligent, talented actresses and have a great sense of humor. They have learned to balance what they love in life – acting, school and everything else.
I’d probably describe my sense of humor as ‘twisted,’ I guess. It’s not hard to make me laugh, especially when I’m surrounded by my close friends, especially my bandmates.
I think empathy is romantic. I think humor is romantic. Kindness is romantic. I think those kind of gestures of caring and love are romantic.
My wife has a good sense of humor, and instead of calling me psychic with my novels, she simply refers to me as being ‘psycho.’ That’s because multiple things in my books have come true.
I call it predicament humor. You don’t do anything that cuts the star off at the knees or worse. You make him intelligent; you give him great ideas and great things to do.
