The most serious film can be the most fun. The one that's supposed to be fun can be the most serious.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There is no reason why a serious film, one about life, can't be enjoyable, maybe even fun. Emotions can be very entertaining, you know. I try to use them generously in my films.
If you're doing a drama that has some comedic elements you can't forget that it's primarily a very serious film that has some light relief.
What I like are films that take me seriously, that don't treat me as more stupid than I am.
I think serious situations actually make for the best kind of belly laughs. But they're also the hardest to convert into comedy at the outset.
I don't think any movie I would do would be too serious or serious at all.
I try to play serious scenes a little funny and the comedy a little serious.
I like serious films, the moneymaking blockbusters that don't make any kind of sense and John Carpenter films.
I think that comedy is one of the more serious things that you can do in our day, especially in the world that we're living in.
The physical part of comedy is as hard as a lot of action movies. It scares me, but in a way that I like.
Regardless of what kind of film, the number one rule of comedy is to never take yourself too seriously and then the next rule is you can't have any self-consciousness, otherwise it kills the laugh, and that will never change.
