I do miss the rhythms of comedy. And I've never been able to perform very well without an audience. The sitcoms I've done had them. It was like doing a little play.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I do miss sometimes being onstage, because when I do film and television, it's usually so brief and funny.
The only thing I miss from the sitcom format is that immediate gratification of when you're, if we're talking about comedy, of the live audience.
It's a lot of work and I also feel like I've done it. I miss comedy. And I also think that, from purely a logistical standpoint, that the day-to-day schedule on a comedy allows you to have a life, much more of a life, than on a drama.
I haven't had a lot of comedy come my way as a performer.
If you're making comedies, they have to have a fun and a rhythm to them.
Truly, with a sitcom and the rhythms of comedy... music is so helpful in that area of life.
With comedies, it's been very gratifying to be able to clock in, laugh all day, and then clock out.
I miss horribly those couple of hours before the performance when you get into the theater and you see people.
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.
Though I acted in hundreds of productions, appeared at the Guthrie Theatre and on Broadway in Amadeus, I discovered in my thirties that I didn't really like stage acting. The presence of the audience, the eight shows a week and the possibility of a long run were all unnatural to me.
