...I learned to be grateful no matter what happened in my life!
There are alway going to be bad things. But you can write it down and make a song out of it.
I always want to find meaning in stuff that sucks - I don't want it to be the end of the sentence.
In many ways, not fitting in has been a comedic asset and a comedic resource.
I don't think it's a contradiction to find painfulness funny.
It's a positive thing to talk about terrible things and make people laugh about them.
Never react emotionally to what happens but always look for and find in every circumstance the good that's surely present there.
When things are really painful, I turn it into comedy.
If I can make myself laugh about something that I should be crying about, that's pretty good.
Adversity creates comedy.
I live to laugh, and I laugh to live.
Make an obstacle an opportunity, make a negative a positive.
Problems and issues will always be there, and they'll never leave our side, so the object is to have a good time and make fun out of whatever we do.
Gratitude is looking on the brighter side of the life, even if it means hurting your eyes.
I wish I could think of a positive point to leave you with. Will you take two negative points?
No matter how bad things are, they can always be worse. So what if my stroke left me with a speech impediment? Moses had one, and he did all right.
Comedy and tragedy co-exist. You can't have one without the other. I'm of the school that anything can be funny if seen from a comedic point of view.
Always seek out the seed of triumph in every adversity.
I'll stick to finding the funny in the ordinary because my life is pretty ordinary and so are the lives of my friends - and my friends are hilarious.
Through my optimism I naturally prefer and capture the beauty in life.
Any experience can be transformed into something of value.
I know how to turn the bad into good always.
Maybe there is something specifically Scandinavian that comes out of the long, dark winters - you have to learn to laugh at misery, in a way.
When a lot of things are going the wrong way for a country, for a people, when you can't really think of anything worse than a war, you always try to take life on the brighter side and that's how I grew up with my parents.
You have to have a sense of humor about life to get through it.
