“Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion." (Truvey Jones)”

“If I had to do it all again, I would still want my same daughter and two sons; through laughter, tears, prayers, and blessings.”

“I am fated to journey hand in hand with my strange heroes and to survey the surging immensity of life, to survey it through the laughter that all can see and through the tears unseen and unknown by anyone.”

“My body needs laughter as much as it needs tears. Both are cleansers of stress.”

“Years later, (Paul) Jones described the mental gymnastics that went into writing these scripts. "Every evening I would close my eyes in a quiet place in my apartment ... I would visualize the opening and walk myself through the day and imagine the different emotional states the market would go through... Then when you get there, you are ready for it. You have been there before. You are in a mental state to take advantage of emotional extremes because you have already lived through them.”

“I always knew looking back on my tears would bring me laughter, but I never knew looking back on my laughter would make me cry.”
