You cannot have the drama without comedy.

Sometimes, comedy and entertainment is not all about telling jokes; sometimes you just have to be you for a few moments.

I think that there's a fine line between comedy and drama.

I think, through comedy, sometimes we're allowed to discuss things that you'd never be able to talk about in a drama.

People think comedians don't do drama. Comics are drama. And what is drama, as opposed to comedy? It's all the same to me.

Doing drama is, in a sense, easier. In doing comedy, if you don't get that laugh, there's something wrong.

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

Any time you can build jokes around a story that resonates on an emotional level, it is going to have a big impact.
