After making several tragic movies in a row, I was looking to do a comedy, and one without cynicism.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My style of comedy is very real and bittersweet, and sort of always on the verge of kind of being tragic.
I would love to do a film with a lot of humor in it: a comedy with pain instead of a painful film with some comedy.
Even in the depths of dreadful situations, there's usually something rather comic, or something you can laugh about afterwards, at least. So, I do look for the comedy in those things.
I'd like to do a film which is funny.
There's obviously a lot of tragedy in comedy; I really enjoy the paradox of what a really good comedy is.
I do comedy to give people an ephemeral escape from the tragedy that permeates everyday life.
I am desperate to do a comedy now.
I don't do comedy so much although I would like to do a comedy.
Comedy is tragedy that happens to other people.
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.
