I find that comedy is my specialty, but drama is slowly starting to move up in that rank. I've always liked playing a character that has depth and that I'm able to bring my own niche to.

What I like in comedies are really two things: stories that are character-driven and stories that are rooted in authenticity.

The way I approach any role, whether it's comedy or drama, I like to look for the truth first. I think comedy for the sake of comedy wears dull pretty quickly. You have to ground the character in reality first and allow the audience to sympathize, emphasize and be more invested.

I have always thought of comedy as an important job and medium, and so I put pressure on myself to do the best I can.

I really like comedy. There's always a choice, when you're writing: you can either go for the joke or you can go for the story, the important stuff.

I sort of attract people who are interested in my comedy for being able to talk about whatever I want to talk about and not being ashamed of who I am and not hiding it.

As for doing more dramatic work over comedy, I do whatever turns me on at the moment.

Comedy will always be central to what I do, it's just an instinct for me, but I am a writer and always have been.

I like to do comedy, but I'll be perfectly honest, I prefer to do drama and more character-driven-based stuff, generally.

Comedy is a comfortable yet challenging place for me. I will always feel an inner pressure to do my best and to improve.
