You've got to have a sense of humor to keep your sanity.

Writing a novel is one of those modern rites of passage, I think, that lead us from an innocent world of contentment, drunkenness, and good humor, to a state of chronic edginess and the perpetual scanning of bank statements.

I could not tread these perilous paths in safety, if I did not keep a saving sense of humor.

Well, darkness with humor... I'm not an extremely suicidal or sad person.

I have this horrible sense of humor where I think discomfort is funny - partly because I experience discomfort a lot, and it's a way of laughing at it and getting a release.
