“Laughter is so important.” — Sarah Cooper Quote

“Laughter is so important.”

“Coming from a large immigrant family, my parents didn't encourage a lot of 'play' when I was growing up. It was hard to get my Dad to even sit down to watch television with us (he'd watch it standing up, always ready to go do something more productive). Downtime was discouraged, as was any college degree that wasn't law, medicine or business.”

“My Dad doesn't see limitations; he either sees hard workers or people who are lazy. As a result, despite any disability or obstacle, my siblings and I all lead relatively happy and successful lives. I believe a good deal of this is due to the fact that excuses were rarely tolerated.”

“I didn't set out to be a Trump impressionist at all. It wasn't that I wanted to be Trump. It's that I was asking, 'What if Trump was me?'”

“I can't tell you how excited I was when I joined my first book club, but I can tell you how much I immediately regretted it.”

“Black women usually don't get the luxury of faking their way through life and still succeeding, but when a white guy does it, he may even get to be the president of the United States.”

“Laughter springs from the lawless part of our nature.”

“All lives have triumphs and tragedies, laughter and tears, and mine has been no different.”

“When you think about a walking tree, laughter is the response.”

“How would we survive without laughter? What a wonderful, free gift that we've been given as human beings.”

“Laughter can be medicine.”

“Comedy is basically action but you get the reaction on laughter.”
