I didn't think, 'I want to do dramas or I want to do comedies' - I wasn't clear in that way.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I wouldn't say I'm personally trying to transition from comedy into drama. I don't look at things like, 'Oh, I need to do a drama now.' I get a lot of material sent to me, and if I feel like something has the creative integrity and the right director and the right whoever involved, the right actors and is a great story, then I do it.
Comedies always need to be provocative and catch your attention in a way that dramas don't have to.
Dramas need to have a certain aesthetic that comedy just doesn't really seem to need to have.
I get asked all the time if I want to do more dramatic acting, and I really doubt that dramatic actors get asked if they want to do more comedies. I don't really know why that is.
You know what I want? The answer is, I truly don't know what I want. I don't want to do a television series. I want to do dramas as well as comedies, but I have no idea what kind or in what order. Just give me the chance at them.
I'm never going to say, 'Well, I'm never going to do comedy again.' I love comedies, and it's what people know me for, so I love doing it... I don't really think about it in terms of 'Well, I should do this because it's comedy or drama.'
I've always wanted to do non-comedies. I've always done dramas, comedies, music, and I always like to bop around and do different things.
Doing drama is a very welcome departure from comedy. Although I love doing both, I like to change it up a bit once in a while with roles in serious drama.
You know, I've always wanted to do dramas.
I want to do dramas. I want to do comedies.
