Whatever kind of movie it is, you're going to be more into it when you care more about the drama, or you'll have a better laugh if you feel like you know the people better.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you're doing a drama that has some comedic elements you can't forget that it's primarily a very serious film that has some light relief.
I feel more comfortable in drama. Comedy is a high-wire act. I find it stressful. It's a precision science in a way.
I always found that drama, really good drama, has a lot of comedy in it.
With every film, I try and give the audiences a little more than the previous film in terms of comedy, action, drama and so on.
Drama comes more naturally to me. It's the comedy you really have to delve into.
I know the nature of comedy, and you never know what will happen with the next movie or whether people will find it funny.
When you do a movie as opposed to a TV show, it's always tempting to think everything has to be big and exaggerated and spectacular. And in fact, a lot of the funniest comedy films have been very intimate.
There's an absolute prejudice that good movies are dramas and comedies are more dismissable. But I couldn't disagree more.
I believe movies are better, the less you know going in.
I'm just an actor. If it's drama, I add as much humour as the part will stand. And if it's a comedy, add as much drama as you can, so it balances out; you don't wanna be too serious.
