Fear of comedy is all so much about who you do it with.

I don't understand why people think it's harder to do drama than it is to do comedy.

I feel more comfortable in drama. Comedy is a high-wire act. I find it stressful. It's a precision science in a way.

When you do a drama, you are challenged to trust your inner voice much more. Because when you put a comedy in front of even a 25-person screening, you know whether it's working or not. The barometer is overt.

I think when someone who's known for doing drama does a comedy but just tries to be funny, that's a mistake.

I think that no matter how much you don't like yourself or the drama of your life you can still find some comedy in it.

Doing drama is, in a sense, easier. In doing comedy, if you don't get that laugh, there's something wrong.

Comedy is probably a way of dealing with anxiety. Sometimes it's a way of dealing with pain.

I've always been drawn to discomfort and that limbo of unease you get between comedy and tragedy. Making people laugh one moment and the next making them feel really uncomfortable.

When you do a good comedy show, you have to understand that if you don't have drama or sad moments, then the comedy turns into a clowning kind of situation.
