There was a time I was very much blaming the way I felt on L.A that it was a vacuum of creativity of humor or anything organic and I was really angry at the place. But then today I feel completely different - I love L.A.!

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.

I don't really dissect comedy. Nothing kills off humor more than overanalyzing it.

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 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.

Never say a humorous thing to a man who does not possess humor. He will always use it in evidence against you.

I think that different pleasures work for different readers - a friend of mine won't read anything that's not a cardiovascular sort of page-turner. I tend to care less about plot but I'm a sucker for humor and strangeness.

I try to cope with everything through humor.

There are so many things to talk about between black people Hispanic people white people gay people men women it's all based on fear. We all have fears this thing that stops us from embracing as we are one. We are never going to be one. People are messed up but humor lets us see how ignorant we can be.

I make fun of situations and try and find the humor in things but it's never at the expense of the other guy.

You can find heroism everyday like guys working terrible jobs because they've got to support their families. Or as far as humor the things I see on the job on the street are far funnier than anything you'll ever see on TV.

I don't think I would describe my sense of humor. Doesn't sound like the kind of thing I'd do.

You see that's another thing that my parents gave me: an enormously great sense of humor.
