“A lot of the kind of comedy that I do comes out of real human moments. For them to work, they have to be truthful kinds of things that people in the audience can go, "Yes, I've experienced that myself!"” PeopleHumansKindRealMomentsAudienceComedyTruthfulBeing TruthfulReal Human Author:Brian Regan
“What reaches an audience is honesty. If you're saying something truthful that's supposed to be a funny line, it's going to be funny. And if it's supposed to be a serious line, it's going to be serious. But, I don't think there's a distinction between how you play drama or comedy, if it's based in the truth.” IfsThinkingPlayLinesAudienceComedyHonestySeriousDramaSupposed To BeDistinctionTruthful Author:Barbra Streisand
“The bottom line of comedy is to be funny, and the bottom line of drama is to be truthful. You can be truthful and funny, but if you're not truthful in a drama than the audience leaves you.” IfsLinesAudienceComedyDramaBottomTruthfulBottom LineBeing Truthful Author:Eddie Izzard

“I know, that trends and all of those things and formulae that calculate what audiences want to see and what audiences don't want to see and various other demographic demarcations are the eccentric and ludicrous prerogative of Hollywood studios. But out there in the real world - by which I mean the rest of the world where we make truthful organic films, independent films unimpeded by interference - it's not about all those sort of calculating what is commercial. It's about wanting to say things and saying them in a way that will get through to people.” PeopleKnowsWorldWayWantMeanRealFilmAudienceHollywoodIndependentVariousStudiosTrendsReal WorldTruthfulEccentricInterferenceDemographicsIndependent FilmCalculatingPrerogativeHollywood Studios Author:Mike Leigh
