My style of comedy is very real and bittersweet, and sort of always on the verge of kind of being tragic.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's obviously a lot of tragedy in comedy; I really enjoy the paradox of what a really good comedy is.
I do comedy to give people an ephemeral escape from the tragedy that permeates everyday life.
Comedy is not my first go-to sort of genre.
The older I've gotten, the more the need to exert comedy no matter how tragic a character I may be portraying because they are essentials for presenting truth.
My brand of comedy is taking a serious approach to silliness. Small moments of modern life and human behavior make me laugh. At least that's where everything starts, and then my other through line would be a dry absurdity that exponentially spirals out of reality.
I am a passionate believer that comedy is a way of tackling some of the most dark and difficult aspects of being a human being.
Comedy is a comfortable yet challenging place for me. I will always feel an inner pressure to do my best and to improve.
I've had varying luck with comedy in the past, but I'd really like to give that another go. I don't know if I'd chase down a part, but if the right thing came along I could certainly see myself stepping into that zone.
After making several tragic movies in a row, I was looking to do a comedy, and one without cynicism.
My own inclination is to skew towards humor. They say that some people view life as a comedy, others as a tragedy. Me? Comedy all the way.
