I think comedy does have that powerful thing that doesn't seem too preachy because you're also making people laugh, so it's really kind of a good tool for messaging.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People complain that joking about serious subjects is 'making light' of them. Isn't that a good idea? Comedy lets the air out of the bully's tires.
I think that having comedy where people talk the way they really talk, when you talk with your friends and whatever, it's really, it's important. Or else you're making stuff that's a little bit watered down and irrelevant.
I think comedy tells a lot; you can tell what people think by what they laugh at.
Especially when you deal with comedy, you have got to be really honest because it's the honesty and the spontaneity that causes people to chuckle, that catches people.
I think, you know, a lot of the business of comedy is taking your personal experiences and making them relatable to other people.
Comedy is the most palliative way to make a point. People are more willing to listen if they can laugh.
What I've always said about comedy is if you do it in the right way, you can say anything to anybody because they know where you're coming from. They know it's not malicious.
Comedy is simply a funny way of being serious.
Comedy is drama. I think that if your characters are feeling something that is very real, then they have to respond in a way that feels real to them, and some situations, the only response you could possibly have is to respond in a way that's so extreme that people are going to laugh.
I think that comedy is one of the more serious things that you can do in our day, especially in the world that we're living in.
