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.

Drama can feel like therapy whereas comedy feels like there's been a pressure and a weight lifted off of you. You come to work and you laugh all day, you go home and you feel light and there's a certain feeling when you're sitting with the audience and they leave after 90 minutes and it's just pure escapism and they're happy.

Doing drama is, in a sense, easier. In doing comedy, if you don't get that laugh, there's something wrong.

Drama is easier to do because you just have to have the emotion and not get caught acting, but comedy is much harder.

Comedy has always been more challenging for me than drama.

Comedy is so hard; it's so much harder than drama. The pacing of it, the energy of it.

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.

Drama comes more naturally to me. It's the comedy you really have to delve into.

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

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