I don't hold any candle for drama versus comedy.

To be perfectly honest, drama is a lot simpler than comedy.

Creating a wonderful drama is an art form, while comedy is just entertainment.

Comedy, at least the way I write comedy, is just drama with jokes.

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.

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.

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

What's fun about comedy is you're pushing things a little further than you would in a drama; you're pushing reality a little bit more.

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 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.
