I've always played comedy. My background is musical comedy theatre, and that's really where my training is.

I realized I do tragedy better than comedy.

I do comedy to give people an ephemeral escape from the tragedy that permeates everyday life.

I went to drama school. I'm classically trained; I studied Shakespeare, blah blah blah. But I always preferred to do Oscar Wilde, or Shakespeare's comedies over his dramas.

I try to give all my characters a sense of humor, so I guess I feel like I have done comedy, but maybe I'm better known for drama.

I always loved working in comedy.

I played comedies and dramas.

Comedy is much more difficult than tragedy-and a much better training, I think. It's much easier to make people cry than to make them laugh.

There's obviously a lot of tragedy in comedy; I really enjoy the paradox of what a really good comedy is.
