The real challenge in acting is in comedy. It's easier to get that gasp in a drama. Not easy, because you still have to find that emotional pitch. And when you do something in drama and you hear that sob from the audience it's so fulfilling. But as a comic actor, when the laugh is supposed to come and you punch in that line and nothing happens it is dreadful. It's horrific and you feel like dying right there.

George Takei

When I'm doing a drama, I like to find the comedy; when I'm doing a comedy, I like to find the heart and drama.

Chris Messina

I love doing comedy. You don't get many good comedy scripts. They're rare. But, I do love playing comedy. Even in drama, I like to try to find the humor because I think it's very human.

Colm Meaney

I tend to find comedy in dark places. I also tend to find comedy in taking on the status quo - which has always been something I find important.

Tom Green

Comedy is not easy to begin with, but comedy that also dances with drama - it's so hard.

Dan Levy

Comedy doesn't come easy for me. I've only done 2 movies that are really comedy-style films and I have to work at them. And they're just as scary in a way. I hate labeling all these things; comedy, love stories, dark drama, whatever.

Channing Tatum

It is always exciting when you find someone who is really enthusiastic about being half of a comedy team.

Seth Rogen

Having written both comedy and drama, comedy's harder because the fear of failure's so much stronger. When you write a scene and you see it cut together, and it doesn't make you laugh, it hurts in a way that failed drama doesn't. Failed drama, it's all, 'That's not that compelling,' but failed comedy just lays there.

Rob Thomas

I feel more comfortable in drama. Comedy's is a high-wire act. I find it stressful. It's a precision science, in a way. And when you're filming, the thing comedy depends on becomes a much more difficult commodity. The thing you depend on is spontaneity.

Colin Firth

You're just playing a role, whether it's a drama or a comedy. I find it really fun to sort of play opposite Uma.

Luke Wilson

I think that no matter how much you don't like yourself or the drama of your life you can still find some comedy in it.

Tommy Lee Jones

I feel more comfortable in drama. Comedy is a high-wire act. I find it stressful. It's a precision science in a way.

Colin Firth

People seem to want to give 'Flowers' a comedy or a comedy-drama label. I suppose it's closer to comedy-drama, but it feels like it requires a whole new definition all of its own.

Sophia Di Martino

It's easy to find people who can make pretty pictures, and it's easy to find people who can do math. But it's difficult to find people who can do both.

Hilary Mason

To seek advice is easy, easy-approach job. To find the truth by yourself, that is a little difficult, and you have to work hard continuously, and you will find it.
