Although humor is present in every one of my films, it has always been used as a way to make the darker, heavier stuff in my stories more palatable. I never set out to make 'Humpday' a comedy.

Lynn Shelton

Sometimes the only way to make palatable that which is appalling and apprehensive is to season it with some humor.

Terrence Howard

I never write anything without humor, just because I like humor, but at the same time, it is a way for anything fantastical to become relatable.

Joss Whedon

I don't like being preachy. I think using fun and humor is an excellent way to make people think.

Princess Superstar

It's not like changing one word with my lyrics is going to make them more intelligible or relatable. I was always very misunderstood and taken as very pretentious and serious all the time. I would think, "Do you not see there's a lot of tongue-in-cheek and humor here?"

Paul Banks

I do enjoy Dennis Miller, I do enjoy Chris Rock when they do their political humor, but it's never been my goal... I love relatable humor.

Jo Koy

I love a good comedy, but the slapstick sitcom belly-laugh sort of comedy - the multicam thing - is not really where my interests lie. I'm very interested in single-cam, in intimate portraits. I like it when comedies have a little bit of realism and a little bit of darkness to them. It makes them more palatable and more relatable and grounded.

Tara Lynne Barr

Improvisation helps because you get what's on the page and you make it a little more palatable to your tongue. And that's the beauty of creating and being spontaneous. That's the way I love to work.

Taraji P. Henson

I really try to make myself relatable, which is hard, because supercars in general are not relatable.

Alex Hirschi

Sometime female characters, especially in the genre of something that people consider rom-com, make mistakes in a cute way or they're a mess in a way that's palatable. I like that.

Greta Gerwig

When you are obliged to make a statement that you know will cause displeasure, you must say it with every appearance of sincerity; this is the only way to make it palatable.

Jean Francois Paul de Gondi

I have tried to be more relatable, but I won't be relatable to everybody.

Brian Posehn

When I got into languages, I needed to amass things to make myself more palatable or more acceptable as a human.

John Grant

The biggest void that people can have in their lives is a sense of humor. Spending your life with someone who doesn't have that wouldn't be palatable.

Howie Mandel

From the very beginning, I started doing music performances with a lot of theatrical aspects to them, where humor was a part of it but not necessarily had to be. Humor is just another tool to make the palette more rich and interesting for myself and eventually for the public. It's a great way to break out of convention.
