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.
I think films about men are often about characters who don’t want to express their feelings. You’re supposed to kind of admire them for not expressing their feelings. And I feel that’s a bit dull. Women’s stories often have stronger emotional content, which I enjoy doing. What I really love doing is mixing that with humor.
It never seems to occur to some people, that, like beauty, a sense of humor may sometimes be fatal.
Solutions-oriented campaigning with a little passion and a little humor I think that will go a long way. I think people are desperate for it.
Humor is a very important thing. It is a natural predilection. It is an emotional release.
The sense of humor has other things to do than to make itself conspicuous in the act of laughter.
I’ve always been really dark, and drawn to darker humor. Nothing has been forced, and I don’t say anything for shock value.
