In comedy, something may be more absurd, but you have to believe just as much as you do when you're doing drama.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Doing drama is, in a sense, easier. In doing comedy, if you don't get that laugh, there's something wrong.
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.
I don't understand why people think it's harder to do drama than it is to do comedy.
Creating a wonderful drama is an art form, while comedy is just entertainment.
To be perfectly honest, drama is a lot simpler than comedy.
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.
For some reason, comedy just comes easily to me, and I feel like I can do it. I don't have any doubt. When I work on drama, there's always a sense of 'Did I find this person's truth at the bottom of this?' And it's hard to tell sometimes.
I think good comedy is a commitment to the absurd in that the situation for the actors should be virtually played like a drama.
People think comedians don't do drama. Comics are drama. And what is drama, as opposed to comedy? It's all the same to me.
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.
