I'm not 17 anymore. I still have some of the same sort of anger, but I have a sense of humor about it... a sense of being constructive with that anger.

When humor can be made to alternate with melancholy, one has a success, but when the same things are funny and melancholic at the same time, it's just wonderful.

People often think that you have a sense of humor because you think that life is funny. Life isn't funny at all. It's appalling and tragic.

You know, Freud accepted his lot very stoically and very well and with a sense of humor. He aged and died gracefully, and there's a lot to be said for that.

I love puns. I've been known to turn the car around just to take advantage of a good pun situation. It really is the highest form of humor.

My family is pretty funny. My mother is British, so she's got a very dry sense of humor. That's where I got that from.

I've got a great sense of humor, and if I'm able to say or do something in a movie that people feel like they want to repeat, that's hugely flattering.

If you don't have humor, you're not going to make it. You're going to be one of those people who walks around with your head about to explode.

I don't think of myself as funny - I don't fill up a room with my humor... I would fail miserably as a stand-up comedian.
