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

I don't see myself making comedies always.

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.

When you do a good comedy show, you have to understand that if you don't have drama or sad moments, then the comedy turns into a clowning kind of situation.

I haven't really done a lot of comedies. I don't know why, because I really like them.

Most comedies are really hard to write, or to watch, because you kind of generally know what's coming.

There's nothing wrong with doing comedies, and I'm not against comedies, either, but I always want to do stuff that keeps me off my guard and gets me out of my comfort zone.

If you're making comedies, they have to have a fun and a rhythm to them.

That's what I hate about a lot of comedies, when you're hitting a line or making it funny.

You know, comedy's hard. With drama, you have a responsibility to the emotional truth, but with comedy, you have emotional truth and you have technique on top of it.
