"I am in the Master of Professional Writing program teaching Humor Writing, Literary and Dramatic." ― Shelley Berman Topic(s): Humor More From Shelley Berman "As much experience, education and awareness as one can attain is important for a comedian." "While you’re improvising, you may come up with something which will break him up. As soon as that smile comes out, you know that, hey, we’re having fun." "As a culture I see us as presently deprived of subtleties. The music is loud, the anger is elevated, sex seems lacking in sweetness and privacy." More In Humor "I used to watch ‘The Waltons’ and sob because my family was nothing like that. We had a cruel sense of humor in my family."― Paula Poundstone "I’ve got a great sense of humor."― Anthony Hopkins "Writing a novel is one of those modern rites of passage, I think, that lead us from an innocent world of contentment, drunkenness, and good humor, to a state of chronic edginess and the perpetual scanning of bank statements."― J. G. Ballard
