Re: Where does your sense of humor come from?

Description: "I think it's from having a difficult childhood."

Transcript:  I think it’s from having a difficult childhood.  I think that a lot of your comedians – my brother specifically – I think a lot of things happened when we were kids.  I mean nothing depressing, but obviously things that happen to a lot of kids.  I think it was divorce.  My father was a writer and my mother was a writer.  And then the changes we made from moving to Michigan to Arizona, to a step father who had some problems who we used to make fun of a lot.  And although it wasn’t. . . it shouldn’t have been funny, but it was very funny.  And my mother is very kind of open and liberal and never took things too seriously . . . very dear, nurturing.  But we obviously have had time to kind of laugh.  And she loved to write and sing.  And I think a lot of those influences, some are genetic obviously.  And I think some just came from my brother was very funny.  My older brother wasn’t very funny.  So I fit somewhere in the middle.  That’s, I think, where it came from.
