Comedy was my sport. It taught me how to roll with the punches. Failure is the exact same as success when it comes to comedy because it just keeps coming. It never stops.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think that comedy really tells you how it is. The other thing about comedy is that - you don't even know if you're failing in drama, but you do know when you're failing in comedy. When you go to a comedy and you don't hear anybody laughing, you know that you've failed.
I think comedy I've learned is really just about relaxing and trusting yourself and allowing yourself to fail.
Having written both comedy and drama, comedy's harder because the fear of failure's so much stronger. When you write a scene and you see it cut together, and it doesn't make you laugh, it hurts in a way that failed drama doesn't. Failed drama, it's all, 'That's not that compelling,' but failed comedy just lays there.
Comedy is a comfortable yet challenging place for me. I will always feel an inner pressure to do my best and to improve.
Comedy is incredibly hard. You have to be loose. You have to be not afraid to fail.
I knew I wanted to try comedy and acting. Even if I failed, at least I would have tried. It's better than never having tried.
If I tried to do comedy for the rest of my career, I would not be very successful.
A lot of critics object to what I do, but I got into comedy to make people laugh, and I've always worked hard.
The main reason I got into comedy was in the hope that I could make a few people laugh and feel better about life, and the fact that I do that is quite overwhelming, really.
I was never really comfortable doing comedy. Though it was good the first couple of years, there were problems, and it became a stifling experience. I was happy it ended.
