There's a level of realism you can only achieve through the imaginary.

Fumito Ueda

Scotty McCreery

People would say, "Oh, you say you just do jokes." I don't just do jokes. I do jokes. Jokes are important. They saved my life when I was younger. Hopefully we're making things nicer at the end of the day for people. That's the entire goal, and that's the touchstone and the North Star for the tone.

Stephen Colbert

My way of fitting in was through jokes and making people laugh.

Carrot Top

Melissa George

The New Zealand sense of humor is tough and realistic. Jokes are not surreal; they are about life and death and tough decisions.

Anthony McCarten

I think noir is an immensely powerful - and elastic - lens through which to look at narrative and character. It seems to access something dark and true in us that other modes of fiction are often a bit prissy about touching. But the key to making it work as time and culture moves on is to use the elasticity, not just the power.

Richard K. Morgan

Life likes jokes; life is constantly making jokes, even at the most inopportune moments.

Elizabeth McCracken

I would never write realistic prose. I don't like people who try to write in a poetic style, but in the course of their book abandon it for realism, and weave back and forth like drunkards between the surreal and the real.

Marguerite Young
