Even when something sad or tragic happens, I find a way to look at it in a positive light. People who don't have a sense of humor must be so sad all the time.

My grandmother was a church organist, but we only went on Easter and Christmas Eve sometimes.

When I was five years old, I auditioned for the role of 'Tiny Tim in A Christmas Carol.'

I'd wanted to be famous for as long as I could remember.

Over the years, I learned that in my career, unlike in life, sometimes my wheelchair is its own automatic door opener. I was able to win the OWN competition by applying one simple principle: be funny, and admit you suck before anyone else can call you out on it. In other words, make the narrative of your failure a comedy.

Religion is such an important part of so many people's lives, and I don't understand it at all.

Religion is something we don't talk about, and it is used by uneducated people as a weapon to divide us as opposed to connect with each other.

I've accepted that we've all got crap to deal with and problems that we're fighting not to be defined by. At the end of the day, we all want the same stuff: fulfillment, love, support, comfort, and a hot-air balloon with laser guns attached to it. The most important thing is that we appreciate the crazy ride we're on.

Spontaneity is what travel is all about.

It's amazing how many companies aren't really in tune to the needs of different travelers. There's just so many embarrassing situations that you go through when you travel. You have to have a sense of humor about it and take it in stride. My whole approach is to embrace spontaneity.

I've been a comedian, hosted travel shows, explored world religions, started improv troupes, given keynote speeches at conferences around the country, and had a milk shake named after me called the Handicappuccino.

I've always wanted to do a travel show for people who never thought they could.

When people think of me, I want them to think of a travel show host who's really funny and good at his job, and I think eventually the CP won't even play into it, or at least that's the goal.

My childhood was great because my family has an amazing sense of humor, and it was just all making videos and jokes and doing skits and things.

Over the years, I've learned that a sense of humor is the only skill that allows you to turn sucking at life into a career.

My parents and my brother instilled in me my sense of humor. That's kind of the way we communicate with each other, and it's always been a way for me to get to know people.

Depending on where my self-confidence was, growing up, I would use humor either to bring people closer, or to keep them away from certain feelings I had.

Humor disarms people. It opens them up to starting a dialogue about things they wouldn't normally talk about. I don't understand how people who don't have a sense of humor get through life.
