A lot of people who do drama say comedy is the hardest thing, but, not wanting to sound like a bighead, comedy is easy for me, as I've always been fairly funny.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Having written both comedy and drama, comedy's harder because the fear of failure's so much stronger. When you write a scene and you see it cut together, and it doesn't make you laugh, it hurts in a way that failed drama doesn't. Failed drama, it's all, 'That's not that compelling,' but failed comedy just lays there.
Drama is easier to do because you just have to have the emotion and not get caught acting, but comedy is much harder.
Comedy is the most difficult thing to do. Easily the most difficult.
It's hard enough to write a good drama, it's much harder to write a good comedy, and it's hardest of all to write a drama with comedy. Which is what life is.
Comedy is far more difficult, as it involves improvisation and impromptu acting, and as an actor, that came as a welcome break for me.
When you're in comedy, people always come up and say, 'Oh, it must be so hard.' It really isn't hard unless you're not good at it. If you can do it, its really kind of fun and easy.
Comedy is so hard; it's so much harder than drama. The pacing of it, the energy of it.
I think comedy is one of the hardest things to do.
Comedy has always been more challenging for me than drama.
Comedy is probably a lot harder for me. Maybe it's because I've been doing drama for so long or maybe it's because... you don't want to search for a laugh; you can't try to be funny, you just have to naturally be funny or be in a situation that's funny.
