Genuine Laughter Quotes

Give me an honest laugher.

Laughing deeply is living deeply.

My advice is: to try and stay really true to the things that make YOU laugh, as opposed to trying to create a character that you think is funny.

A man of knowing attains to a sense of humour. Let this always be remembered. If you see someone who has no sense of humour, know well that that man has not known at all.

Knowing brings a playfulness; knowing brings a sense of humour. The sense of humour is a must.

You know, I think I knew you for about three weeks before I ever really saw you smile. And then one day, Morgan said something and you laughed, and I remember thinking it was really cool because it meant something. You're not the kind of person who smiles for nothing, Colie. I have to earn every one.

Humor is the most honest of emotions. Applause for a speech can be insincere, but with humor, if the audience doesn't like it there's no faking it.

People love authenticity in comedy and, coming from a region, you get a very strong sense of place. They can place you straight away, so they can relax.
