He makes a great point about the importance of humor and laughter:

Scott likes to talk about mental health with "a certain degree of lightness", he says.

"There's a duality that exists... It sounds odd for me to say that, but as long as you can be light about your darkness, I think you're [going to be] alright."

Scott says laughter is key to maintaining his own mental health. "I try and laugh every day," he says passionately.

"It's such a human attribute - the animals, as much as I love them, they don't laugh as much as we do. Sometimes I think we can measure someone's humanity almost by how much they laugh every day and how much they're able to appreciate laughing.

"[Sometimes you have to say] this is all ridiculous, this doesn't end well for any of us - we're all going to die. So in a way, you've got to laugh as much as you can - that's my attitude certainly, as I move through life."
