“If you can't laugh when things go bad--laugh and put on a little carnival--then you're either dead or wishing you were.”

“They didn't know why these things were funny. Sometimes you laugh because you've got no more room for crying. Sometimes you laugh because table manners on a beach are funny. And sometimes you laugh because you're alive, when you really shouldn't be.”

“Laugh whenever you can. Keeps you from killing yourself when things are bad. That and vodka.”

“I'm dealing with a lot of scary things. I think you have to react to them. And you either laugh at them or you go insane.”

“Laugh. Laugh as much as you can. Laugh until you cry. Cry until you laugh. Keep doing it even if people are passing you on the street saying, "I can't tell if that person is laughing or crying, but either way they seem crazy, let's walk faster." Emote. It's okay. It shows you are thinking and feeling.”

“It's never wise to laugh at things you don't understand...If you're not careful, they might start laughing back at you.”
