When I do comedy, I lose all inhibition and introspection. I no longer care.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Comedy is probably a way of dealing with anxiety. Sometimes it's a way of dealing with pain.
I didn't want to do comedy again. It is way harder when you are doing comedy. You can't just concentrate on the character and the plot. In comedy, the writers, instead of obsessing about character and plot, obsess about the jokes.
I can't watch other people doing comedy. As soon as somebody starts being funny I have to turn off because it upsets me. I get comedy indigestion. I just hate anybody else being funny. That's my job.
As long as I stay engaged with everybody else, then I'll create more comedy. It's just when I shut off and stay at home... What helps me is just to keep moving.
My comedy is different every time I do it. I don't know what the hell I'm doing.
The main reason I got into comedy was in the hope that I could make a few people laugh and feel better about life, and the fact that I do that is quite overwhelming, really.
I think comedy I've learned is really just about relaxing and trusting yourself and allowing yourself to fail.
I can't seem to escape comedy. Whenever I sit down and try to write something serious, it just doesn't work.
I never analyze stuff with comedy because it's boring. It makes you stop being funny. Just be who you are and do what you do, and you're either funny or you're not.
Comedy is a comfortable yet challenging place for me. I will always feel an inner pressure to do my best and to improve.
