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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Doing drama is, in a sense, easier. In doing comedy, if you don't get that laugh, there's something wrong.
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 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.
I love going back and forth from drama to comedy. I love switching it around and showing people that I can do both.
I enjoy doing drama, and I enjoy doing comedy equally.
Drama comes more naturally to me. It's the comedy you really have to delve into.
I always found that drama, really good drama, has a lot of comedy in it.
I don't hold any candle for drama versus comedy.
My acting has always been in the world of comedy, but in my writing, other than writing sketches, I really am drawn to the balance between comedy and drama. I like things that sort of toe that line of one minute you're in this emotional space and then all of the sudden something happens.
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.
