3 December 2020 Shelley Berman I am in the Master of Professional Writing program teaching Humor Writing, Literary and Dramatic.
3 December 2020 Will Eisner Humor has historically been tied to the mores of the day. The Yellow Kid was predicated on what people thought was funny about the immigrant Irish. When you’re different in a society, you’re funny.
3 December 2020 Debbie Gibson I’ve learned to have a sense of humor about myself. Lord knows everyone else does!
3 December 2020 Louis C. K. I’ve met a lot of people who’ve lost their jobs and they still have a sense of humor.
3 December 2020 Simon Pegg I think at its best the American sense of humor is the same as the British sense of humor at its best, which is to be wry and ironic and self deprecating.
3 December 2020 Joshua Foer 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.
3 December 2020 Robert Collier Our subconscious minds have no sense of humor, play no jokes and cannot tell the difference between reality and an imagined thought or image. What we continually think about eventually will manifest in our lives.
3 December 2020 Allen Klein Humor can alter any situation and help us cope at the very instant we are laughing.
3 December 2020 Jim Goad I think my sense of humor is Jewish. I’m smarter than most white people, which is kind of a Jewish thing, too.
3 December 2020 Catherine Deneuve A woman has to be intelligent, have charm, a sense of humor, and be kind. It’s the same qualities I require from a man.
3 December 2020 Colin Firth I always thought the biggest failing of Americans was their lack of irony. They are very serious there! Naturally, there are exceptions… the Jewish, Italian, and Irish humor of the East Coast.
3 December 2020 Tom Berenger There’s a hysterical, tired sense of humor that comes after working 14 hours a day, six days a week. I like those things because they take the pressure off the constant stress.
3 December 2020 Vera Farmiga I don’t have a caustic sense of humor. What I find funny, that humor comes from a much gentler place.
3 December 2020 Thomas Carlyle Humor has justly been regarded as the finest perfection of poetic genius.
3 December 2020 Mike Mills To me, sadness and humor aren’t disrelated and humor is the best tool I’ve had against the sadness in my life.
3 December 2020 Max Frisch When you say a friend has a sense of humor do you mean that he makes you laugh, or that he can make you laugh?
3 December 2020 Roger Daltrey I love Sell Out, I think it’s great. I love the jingles. The whole thing as an album is a wonderful piece of work. The cover. Everything about it. It’s got humor, great songs, irony.
3 December 2020 Martin Sheen Those years on the golf course as a caddie, boy, those people were something. They were vulgar, some were alcoholics, racist, they were very difficult people to deal with. A lot of them didn’t have a sense of humor.
3 December 2020 Harry S. Truman Any man who has had the job I’ve had and didn’t have a sense of humor wouldn’t still be here.
3 December 2020 Richard Russo At the risk of appearing disingenuous, I don’t really think of myself as ‘writing humor.’ I’m simply reporting on the world I observe, which is frequently hilarious.
3 December 2020 Delta Burke I’ll do humor about myself, I’ll poke fun and everything, but that’s me and I can do it to me. I think it’s cruel to do it to somebody else.
3 December 2020 John Zorn I have wit in my work and a sense of humor, but I do not use irony in any way.
3 December 2020 Sinclair Lewis There are two insults no human being will endure: that he has no sense of humor, and that he has never known trouble.
