Dramas need to have a certain aesthetic that comedy just doesn't really seem to need to have.

Sitcoms are incredibly limiting. When you do a sitcom and it becomes a signature part for you, it's harder to do something else; but if you do a drama, you can get lost in it and have a role to do other things.

Comedies always need to be provocative and catch your attention in a way that dramas don't have to.

Right now, if you're interested in being a dramatic actor, they're not making that many just regular dramas. Movies have to have some other thing going on.

Creating a wonderful drama is an art form, while comedy is just entertainment.

More people are going out to comedy shows than they were before.

To be perfectly honest, drama is a lot simpler than comedy.

Comedy has to be so much cleaner than drama. You can't layer it in the way you can a dramatic performance. Which is why it's more difficult than drama - you don't have so many tricks.

I worked on dramas before, I love sinking my teeth into something dramatic or a period piece, but there's something so fun about doing a comedy. When you go to set and your only job is to make people laugh, there's an unbelievable energy on set.

I don't understand why people think it's harder to do drama than it is to do comedy.
