I know the new comedy god is surrealism, but it doesn't touch my heart.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
God writes a lot of comedy... the trouble is, he's stuck with so many bad actors who don't know how to play funny.
God is a comedian, playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.
Since I came at 'Godot' from a God-based frame of mind, it didn't strike me as absurdist. It struck me as characters waiting for proof of God's existence.
It's very hard to say I'm surrealist. It's like saying I'm poetic. It's not something you want necessarily to be aware of.
As a kid, I loved 'Godot' because of the poetry and the humor and the strangeness, but then as you get older, it's much more resonant.
We're taking part in a divine comedy and we should realise that the play is always a comedy, in that we're all ultimately ridiculous.
It doesn't hurt my feeling when I get vilified by fundamentalist religious people. I've actually made comedy out of it. I've made light of that.
I love the absurd - kind of absurdist comedy, absurd things in life.
'The Divine Comedy' is very sophisticated but also very popular.
For me, surrealism is in my blood; it's not an effort.
