I think this is very true of the second part .. its quite common for some people to hide their emotions behind a sense of humour and some of the greatest comics were really quite depressed off stage.

I think its about having the right balance and I am pretty sure that you display your emotions with sincerity .. sometimes you just got to have a bit of a laugh too for yourself .. the best medicine is laughter is another quote .. :-)
