Comedy is an amazing calling. Once you get that first laugh, it's hard to turn away. Then, of course, you're hooked and you have to learn how to survive in the business.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think comedy is one of the hardest things to pull off. You either have timing or you don't, and that's something I don't have for sure.
I think the kick to doing comedy is just to get in a film with really funny people and let them do their jobs. I find that in most comedies, I'm not the funny one, which works out great.
It's fun once in a while to do a serious part but I really enjoy doing comedy because I love to laugh.
I always had a tremendous amount of rage about the business, and I thought turning that into comedy was healthy.
With comedy, you have no place to go but more comedy, so you're never off the hook.
Comedy will always be central to what I do, it's just an instinct for me, but I am a writer and always have been.
Comedy is not funny. Comedy is hard work and timing and lots and lots of rehearsals.
Comedy is a comfortable yet challenging place for me. I will always feel an inner pressure to do my best and to improve.
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.
First and foremost when you're doing comedy, you gotta be relevant and applicable to the times that you're living in. When you try and just do comedy about who is dating who and lifestyle jokes, it gets tiring after a while. It's hard to be funny in that realm.
