I could have carried on in comedy. But my life was dark.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I actually gravitate toward comedy a lot when it comes to what I'm watching, but maybe that's because I've been on such dark work the last four or five years.
I thought comedy would be the hardest thing I could do, and if I could do that, I could do anything.
By the time I finished comedy, I was really burnt out of it. I had had enough. I don't really have a strong desire to prove myself in that area, or to go back to it in any great way.
I had envisioned doing comedy since childhood. For sure.
I found I had the ability to do comedy. My timing was really inborn.
I wanted to be less well-known in comedy.
I was never really comfortable doing comedy. Though it was good the first couple of years, there were problems, and it became a stifling experience. I was happy it ended.
I could've ended up in action films forever. But the comedy thing has been my forte.
I just made the decision that I was going to try comedy, and if didn't work, then I knew it didn't work. Then I would go back and do whatever. But at least I wouldn't torture myself the rest of my life, wondering whatever would have happened.
I never thought I would be in a comedic role; my past is in drama.
