“Humor is the ability to see three sides to one coin.”

“My humor tends to be a little more edgy than is appropriate for 'Twilight,' although I got some in there. That was fun! There's just a tonal difference. For me, storytelling is storytelling. But, I do like writing for grown ups.”

“I'm just very amused by five-year-old humor.”

“Think about scary movies: There's a fine line between horror and humor.”

“It's funny. People often compare me to other humor essayists. They're usually quite nice comparisons I will accept those gladly. But I am always sort of appalled at the idea of being lumped with other, more chick-y female writers. And the truth is probably that neither comparison is accurate.”

“All my jobs have been with food in one way or another since 1948. My parents were in the hotel business, and I just loved the warm hearted people who worked so hard with such good humor.”

“Humor is always based on a modicum of truth. Have you ever heard a joke about a father-in-law?”

“Tony and I had a good on and off screen relationship, we are two very different people, but we did share a sense of humor, we now live in different parts of the world but when we find ourselves in the same place it is more or less as if there had been no years in between.”

“I realized women and humor were linked very closely.”
