For me comedy and violence has a lot in common. Just as you expect, comedy always lurks behind the most unexpected of circumstances.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In life, comedy occurs naturally, as it should, in the most appalling of circumstances.
There's obviously a lot of tragedy in comedy; I really enjoy the paradox of what a really good comedy is.
It's odd how violence and humor so often go together, isn't it?
Comedy tends to come out of things which are quite painful and serious.
Comedy is tragedy that happens to other people.
Comedy comes easily to me, and so for me, comedy is suspect.
For me, comedy starts as a spew, a kind of explosion, and then you sculpt it from there, if at all. It comes out of a deeper, darker side. Maybe it comes from anger, because I'm outraged by cruel absurdities, the hypocrisy that exists everywhere, even within yourself, where it's hardest to see.
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.
Comedy has always been more challenging for me than drama.
For me, comedy and drama are all the same thing.
