Comedy, at least the way I write comedy, is just drama with jokes.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's hard enough to write a good drama, it's much harder to write a good comedy, and it's hardest of all to write a drama with comedy. Which is what life is.
To be perfectly honest, drama is a lot simpler than comedy.
For me, comedy and drama are all the same thing.
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 always found that drama, really good drama, has a lot of comedy in it.
I don't hold any candle for drama versus comedy.
I think comedy is drama, often. It's hard to have comedy over a period of time - commercials are one thing, but over a period of time - comedy and tragedy go hand in hand.
Comedy is tragedy that happens to other people.
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.
Creating a wonderful drama is an art form, while comedy is just entertainment.
