In good comedy, the structure comes from truth and that weird eye that looks at the way life is.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's got to be structure and great comedy. When you start with that, everything else falls into place.
Comedy has to be based on truth. You take the truth and you put a little curlicue at the end.
It has to come from a truthful place in order to be funny.
Life is dramatic and comedic at times. Sometimes in the most dramatic situations, there is comedy. And good comedy comes from a sense of reality.
I think the best comedy comes from stuff that's based in reality.
On some level in acting, what you're trying to find is truth, because when it's true is when it's also funny.
All your life, you live so close to truth, it becomes a permanent blur in the corner of your eye. And when something nudges it into outline, it is like being ambushed by a grotesque.
For some reason, people with comedy, any time they can detect a pattern, it kind of freaks them out. 'Those guys are always together!' Yeah, they're a comedy team. Anything they can recognize as a pattern they think is a hole.
To me, comedy is just twisting reality. It's commenting or observing or twisting life.
Comedy comes from confusion.
