Lynda Barry
  • I live in constant fear of being fired or dropped for that dark part of my work I can't control.

  • I need to be cheered up a lot. I think funny people are people who need to be cheered up.

  • I listen like mad to any conversation taking place next to me just trying to hear why this is funny. Women's restrooms are especially great. I wash my hands twice waiting for people to come in and start talking.

  • If I didn't try to eavesdrop on every bus ride I take or look for the humor when I go for a walk, I would just be depressed all the time.

  • Humor is such a wonderful thing, helping you realize what a fool you are but how beautiful that is at the same time.
