“You have more of a responsibility to make the audience laugh. In comedy, we do have to say, "All right, it's been two minutes in the film. We need another laugh here." With drama, there's no pressure in that regard. It's a different kind of pressure, but it's not like we need to make someone laugh.” NeedsKindTwoDifferentFilmResponsibilityAudienceLaughingComedyMinutesDramaPressureRegardDifferent KindsNo PressureMake Someone Laugh Author:Jonah Hill
“When someone who is known as a comedic actor goes to drama, it often doesn't work out, because they really just chose wrong, I think - or maybe they're just not good actors. For me it's important making that transition seamless, and not a huge shock and jumping into cold water. It doesn't feel like I'm trying to shock you or anything. I'm just saying, "I'm a different actor than you thought I was. Don't put me in a box. I'm not just some kid running around screaming curse words." I have other tastes besides comedy. I love comedy, but I love dramatic movies just as much.” ThinkingTryingImportantDifferentRunningKidsWaterComedyColdDramaWork OutCurseDramaticComedicJust Saying Author:Jonah Hill
