All the plays I do are comedies. I love listening to people laugh. I couldn't do the dramas like 'All My Sons.'

I acted in high school and studied at the British American Drama Academy in Oxford for one summer. I minored in theater, and I was always acting growing up, but really, I was just more interested in the comedy of it all.

I try to give all my characters a sense of humor, so I guess I feel like I have done comedy, but maybe I'm better known for drama.

When I was a kid, I used to make up all these characters. I love comedy a lot, and I don't get to do it often. Somewhere in the middle, I shifted into doing drama.

When I first started acting, I started in opera and had a great desire to play grand, tragic characters. I got sidetracked in musical theater and ended up doing a lot of comedy.

When I was in college I did a lot of comedy.

I've always played comedy. My background is musical comedy theatre, and that's really where my training is.

Even in college I tended to get cast in the comedies more. It was what I liked doing.

Then I became interested in drama, and almost by accident, I drifted into film.

My drama instructor suggested I try comedy. I was resistant at first because I considered myself a serious actor, but of course I fell in love with it.
