What's fun about comedy is you're pushing things a little further than you would in a drama; you're pushing reality a little bit more.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I feel more comfortable in drama. Comedy is a high-wire act. I find it stressful. It's a precision science in a way.
Comedy is so hard; it's so much harder than drama. The pacing of it, the energy of it.
In comedy, something may be more absurd, but you have to believe just as much as you do when you're doing drama.
Comedy has to do with holding and releasing tension; it's very technical. It's more technical than drama.
I don't understand why people think it's harder to do drama than it is to do comedy.
Doing drama is, in a sense, easier. In doing comedy, if you don't get that laugh, there's something wrong.
Comedy has to be so much cleaner than drama. You can't layer it in the way you can a dramatic performance. Which is why it's more difficult than drama - you don't have so many tricks.
There's a certain rhythm to comedy that is almost like you're dancing and you just go on autopilot, so to speak. There's something just beautifully enjoyable about comedy in that respect. It's a joy to be able to do that. Drama, you get to go to depths that you haven't gone to before.
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.
Creating a wonderful drama is an art form, while comedy is just entertainment.
