I wore goofy hats to school and did musical theater. Most people thought I was a dork. But if you have a sense of humor about it no one can bring you down.

One of my favorite things about 'Star Trek' wasn't just the overt banter but the humor in that show about the relationships between the main characters and their reactions to the situations they would face there was a lot of comedy in that show without ever breaking its reality.

Sometimes a scene may be about one thing and it may end up still being about that but the emotionality of it comes from somewhere else or the humor of it comes from somewhere else and it gives it that real-life quality.

Whether it's viewers of the show or readers of my columns and books I'm consistently impressed with their wit humor and insight. That goes for about 95 percent of the audience. The other five percent are why the 'Delete' option and restraining orders were invented.

There are certain things I learned when I first started learning about acting to try and place the character physically and emotionally. And the way you place them emotionally is often with humor.

I don't understand how somebody wouldn't have a sense of humor about themselves.

Have a sense of humor about life - you will need it. And be courteous.

You have to have a sense of humor about life to get through it.

Whatever else an American believes or disbelieves about himself he is absolutely sure he has a sense of humor.

Being a Hot Mom means being respected as a mom and a woman. And the key to being a Hot Mom is having a sense of humor about yourself and all the crazy situations that arise.

All I know about humor is that I don't know anything about it.

Humor is everywhere in that there's irony in just about anything a human does.

I was sort of in denial about doing country for awhile but I sort of grew up and realized who I was what I wanted to say. I think country music is the best music in the world and I'm glad to be doing a country album. I hope people will love it as much as I loved making it.

Zhang Yimou tried to use martial arts to talk about Chinese culture Chinese people. What do they think what do they want and what do they hope.

I tried to use words that were dealing with the emotional quality that any human being could recognize in the way that they felt about their country. It's to do with the world we live in. That world is a brutal one and full of war. It's also full of many wonderful things and love and hope.

Gabriel Byrne is an extraordinary human being. We have two extraordinary kids and we work at it. We were always friends. He stuck by me through very hard times and I hope he'd say the same about me.
