I am Gabrielle Anwar: mother, lover, daughter, sister, friend, and creator in the pursuit of happiness.
I'm a very positive person. My grandmother taught me that happiness is both a skill and a decision, and you are responsible for the outcome.
I wanted to understand pain and the human condition, which is full of pain and regret and sadness - and some happiness, if you're lucky.
I just hope I can spread some of the happiness that's been coming my way.
Money can't buy you happiness but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery.
There is no guarantee what will give you happiness any which way. I know many married people who are unhappy.
A good-humored wife who appreciates most, if not all, of my humor - her price is far above rubies, as the book of Proverbs doesn't quite say.
I find any sort of acting that doesn't have any humor in it is mind-numbingly boring. 'Serious acting' is the kind of acting that I don't ever respond to.
I have seen what a laugh can do. It can transform almost unbearable tears into something bearable, even hopeful.
I think there's a little confusion between humor and 'gross' passing for humor. That's kind of regrettable, because they aren't the same thing.
I think that what comes through in Chicago humor is the affection. Even though you're poking fun at someone or something, there's still an affection for it.
The man with the real sense of humor is the man who can put himself in the spectator's place and laugh at his own misfortune.
I always thought the biggest failing of Americans was their lack of irony. They are very serious there! Naturally, there are exceptions... the Jewish, Italian, and Irish humor of the East Coast.
We have a certain warped sense of humor in Scandinavia, and that is what comes across in the choices in a lot of our movies.
Political correctness? In my humor, I never talk about politics. I was never much into all that.
Incongruity, they say, is one of the main ingredients of humor. Maybe it's because everybody can feel superior to me. I honestly don't know.
Anybody with a sense of humor is going to put on my album and laugh from beginning to end.
I compare Stephen Sondheim with humor, because humor is unanalyzable. You can't analyze humor. You just have to get through it.
A taste for irony has kept more hearts from breaking than a sense of humor, for it takes irony to appreciate the joke which is on oneself.
Daddy was hilarious. He could take the most mundane event and tell it so that we all on the floor laughing. He trained me in the joys of humor.
I did the 'Bionic Woman,' which of course had a lot of humor in it, and that was really a function of a lot of the ad-libbing and the things that I did in it.
