My mom taught me the power of love. I learned to focus on the long-term big picture from my father. His sense of humor and light-hearted approach always make me smile. My husband is a pivotal anchor in my life. His influence encourages me to be independent and take risks.
~ Padmasree Warrior
You can defeat fear through humor, through pain, through honesty, bravery, intuition, and through love in the truest sense.
~ John Cassavetes
I think I'm too cynical for L.A. My sense of humor doesn't go down well here, which probably affects my love life. I need to have a laugh track following me around so people know I'm trying to be funny.
~ Teddy Thompson
Among my friends, I'm not a little Boy Scout, and they love my humor, thank God.
~ Don Rickles
I couldn't really take a girl from Berlin to live in Leeds. I love it here. I miss the Yorkshire sense of humor and things like bitter and Yorkshire puddings, but I can still get my hands on salt 'n' vinegar crisps.
~ Sam Riley
I love people who have a good sense of humor, tell a good story, tell a good joke.
~ Jason Statham
I want to have fun. Life ain't no dress rehearsal. I want to have fun. I'm a comedian; I ain't no politician. So everything I do is with humor, with love.
~ Bernie Mac
Every time I do a movie like 'Finding Neverland' or 'Chocolat' or 'Shakespeare' in Love,' we deal with the creative process, but there's humor and fun along the way. I always love that kind of movie.
~ Harvey Weinstein
I love practical jokes and humor. That there's frankly no joke that I don't think is funny. I love practical jokes, but I don't like being scared.
~ Mitt Romney
I love Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart because they're bringing irony back into American humor, which is a delicious treat. The entire Colbert persona of being extreme right-wing when he's not at all is highly amusing. He does it so well, but sometimes a little too well. My wife is convinced he's completely that way.
~ John Lydon
I'm a huge Muppets fan. Gigantic. I think they're genius. I think they're some of the best work out there and completely underrated, just because of how genius they are. I love that kind of humor. It's so innocent but brilliant.
~ Andie Macdowell
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.
~ Thomas Carlyle
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.
~ Karin Slaughter
For me, I really love 'Tim and Eric' and 'Dr. Steve Brule' and a lot of the Adult Swim shows, so I like strange, weird, sometimes slightly upsetting humor.
~ Gillian Jacobs
I'm sure I've all but lost friends by maintaining that, despite their love for it, I always saw Stanley Kramer's 'It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World' as more of an exercise in anti-comedy than humor.
~ Dick Cavett
I have a need to always make people laugh. I have a desperate need. I love a great sense of humor. The people I sort of surround myself with have that.
~ Peter Dinklage
And I loved Fats Waller. I love his instrumental abilities, his vocal abilities and his sense of humor.
~ Paul Mccartney
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.
~ John Krasinski
I like bawdy humor. I love bawdy humor, but not dirty humor.
~ Betty White
Love, as wonderful and horrible as it is, has at its center a kind of pitiful humor.
~ Tim O'brien
I love the diversity of America. I love the plain, normal sense of humor Americans have. It is not wicked, like in some countries. And I also love how new America is.
~ Antonio Banderas
Me and Matt love to argue, but in general our sense of humor is pretty much alike.
~ Trey Parker
There's a film I did years ago, 'Love Serenade,' that I still really love. It's such an oddball sense of humor. It was a really special film for me when I did it.
~ Miranda Otto
I do talk about celebrity relationships like Kim Kardashian's. I like to find the humor in love.
~ Loni Love
I love British humor. It's just so - surreal.
~ Beck
I think being a parent is knowing how to love. Sometimes love is discipline, sometimes it's humor, sometimes it's listening.
~ Melissa Etheridge
I love the vulgar. I kind of have the humor of a 17-year-old boy.
~ Judy Gold
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.
~ Roger Daltrey
Part of my humor is the fact that I love coming out of left field. I don't want people to expect what is going to happen next.
~ Howie Mandel
I've heard too many times where people say that I'm this ultra-serious guy. In truth, I've got an extremely absurd sense of humor. I thrive on the absurd - I love it.
~ Phil Anselmo
I've always adored the filmmaker Sam Fuller. The first time I watched 'Shock Corridor' was such a magnificent discovery. I love his lack of subtlety, the way he tackles serious topics with bold and inappropriate humor.
~ Lisa Lutz
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.!
~ Naomi Watts
I've worked a lot in comedy. As much as I love playing dramatic roles, it's always nice to be able to have some humor around when working.
~ Tom Ellis
Be fun! I don't like homes or rooms that don't have a sense of humor or have some sense of whimsy or a personality. Your home should reflect who you are, and what you love. I would never have something in my home because it's the thing to have. I have to love it and it needs some connection to me.
~ Bryan Batt
I have this idyllic love life, but my mind just won't accept that. I would like to bring a new guy home every night. I try to make humor out of that situation.
~ Jen Kirkman
Men love it. They have a sense of humor, whereas a lot of women are threatened or just don't get it.
~ Lara Flynn Boyle
I love the idea of things being strict and things being uniform. That's the reason why I surround each collection with humor or irony. I want to make sure that it's not too serious and that there is some element that throws it off because otherwise that would make it really boring. There's always a story that's somewhat fantastical.
~ Thom Browne
Rowling is a luminous storyteller. I love her sense of humor and the intricate wizarding world she built around Hogwarts. I think all writers aspire to be like her, to capture readers like she does. But I didn't think about 'Harry Potter' when I wrote 'The Bone Season.'
~ Samantha Shannon
The love of truth lies at the root of much humor.
~ Robertson Davies
Roosevelt's humor was broad, his manner friendly. Of wit there was little; of philosophy, none. What did he possess? Intuition, inspiration, love of adventure.
~ Emanuel Celler
