I can't do comedy that is cutting and vicious. If I knew I'd said something that was going to make someone feel bad, well, that supersedes everything.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
What I've always said about comedy is if you do it in the right way, you can say anything to anybody because they know where you're coming from. They know it's not malicious.
Especially when you deal with comedy, you have got to be really honest because it's the honesty and the spontaneity that causes people to chuckle, that catches people.
You know, comedy's hard. With drama, you have a responsibility to the emotional truth, but with comedy, you have emotional truth and you have technique on top of it.
My comedy comes from pain. I can't stand to see someone hurting.
Comedy should be a source of positivity. I don't want to bully people, and I don't want people to come to my show to feel terrible about something. So I'm actually very open to having a conversation about what I should or shouldn't say.
Well, all comedy starts with anger. You get angry, and its never for a good reason, right? You know its not a good reason. And then you try and work it from there.
Even in a comedy, you have to make people feel. You have to put your hand inside their soul and twist out their heart.
Comedy can be a cathartic way to deal with personal trauma.
That's what I hate about a lot of comedies, when you're hitting a line or making it funny.
I'm not hurting anybody. Comedy's all about innuendo. I'm putting it out there just like anybody else.
