I wake up laughing. Yes, I wake up in the morning and there I am just laughing my head off.

On its face, the line is a comic exaggeration of buoyant optimism: the speaker claims to begin the day already in a state of uncontrollable laughter. Read as celebrity self-presentation, it also functions as a persona statement—projecting an easygoing, irreverent temperament associated with Willis’s public image and many of his screen roles. The repetition (“I wake up… I wake up…”) heightens the gag by insisting on the implausibility, turning mood into a punchline. Depending on the interview context, it can be heard either as sincere testimony about a naturally upbeat disposition or as deadpan humor that undercuts the very idea of motivational earnestness.
