Often, joking for me is a way of diffusing the awkwardness of a situation, so it's kind of exhilarating to be a part of projects where there's nothing funny or lighthearted.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Joking around is part of my personality, just who I am.
I rarely joke unless I'm in front of a camera. It's not what I am in real life. It's what I do for a living.
People complain that joking about serious subjects is 'making light' of them. Isn't that a good idea? Comedy lets the air out of the bully's tires.
I have a lot of faith in the power of joking to make something thoughtful.
I'm not one of those people who are, like, always joking in person.
I think humor is a very serious thing. I use it as a way of weakening the reader's defenses so that I can more easily take him to something more.
I guess the more serious you play something, if the context is funny, then it will be funny and it doesn't really require you to be necessarily, explicitly humorous, or silly.
If a comedian tells a joke that you find funny, you laugh. If he tells a joke you do not find funny, don't laugh. Or you could possibly go as far as groaning or rolling your eyes. Then you wait for his next joke; if that's funny, then you laugh. If it's not, you don't laugh - or at very worst, you can leave quietly.
I connect to humor really deeply, so I feel really comfortable just being in funny projects.
Comedy is so collaborative. You're going to come up with better jokes with people you like joking around with. It just makes sense.
