“Just look at the cinema itself: It's comprised of lots of movies about graphic novels, and if you're not 20 years old and wearing a cape and a mask and white, you're out of business. Today's cinema is a proliferation of comedies, which are in some ways creating caricature images. They're one-dimensional.” IfsWayYearsLooksTodayWhiteNovelComedyCreatingCinemaMaskGraphicCaricaturesProliferationCapesGraphic Novels Author:Danny Glover
“I grew up in repertory theaters, so it was comedy one night, drama the next. I'm used to going from one to the other. And I worked for years in television as well. So, I like the interrelationship of it and having a good relationship with a group of artists creating something really where the sum is greater than all of our individual contributions, our parts.” YearsWellsUsedArtistNightNextIndividualComedyGreaterGroupsTelevisionGrewDramaCreatingGrew UpTheaterContributionOne NightGood RelationshipCreating Something Author:Howard Shore

“My record label, which is a huge record label who represents massive, massive stars - they've never done anything like this before, and they were so excited about this idea of an animated character which is singing legitimate music.

“The only difference between comedy and drama is that, in comedy, I'm going to utilize the tool of creating laughter to deflect discomfort and, in drama, I won't use a tool, but we're going to actually deal with the discomfort and see what comes out of it.” UseDifferencesDealsComedyDramaCreatingLaughterToolsDiscomfort Author:Romany Malco
“As a writer, I was deliberately creating an alternate world, and then populating it with experiences and people that I knew in this world, but I'd shake up the mix considerably. And about the same time that the memoir was becoming the dominant popular literary form in the mid to late 90s, I started reading writers who were deliberately playing with the notion of "truth" and "fiction" - that struck me as a much more interesting way to tell certain stories, particularly in the realm of comedy.” PeopleWorldWayStoriesFormCertainReadingInterestingFictionComedyThis WorldBecomingLateCreatingNotionMemoirRealmsShakesDominantInteresting Ways Author:Kevin Keck
