“Especially with a comedy, you've got the clear cut goal of trying to make a scene funny. It's not like drama where you're trying to achieve some kind of emotion or trying to further the story along. You're trying to figure out what's the funniest way to do something.” WayTryingKindStoriesGoalEmotionClearComedyCuttingAchieveFiguresDramaScene Author:Luke Wilson
“Just by nature, I think in comedy. I think in sketches and what have you. In every drama or action movie I've been in, I have to make a concerted effort not to turn it into a comedy. Every shot, before action is called and after cut is called, I'm usually in some goofy head space. It feels natural to me.” ThinkingFeelsActionTurnsNaturalSpaceEffortComedyCuttingDramaShotsAction MovieGoofy Author:Michael Jai White
“I find things funny that aren't self-aware. That don't know they're funny, and I think the same can hold true for drama. If you think you're in this tragedy and you play it for tragedy, there's a self-awareness there that I think takes you out of watching it and I believe it cuts both ways.” IfsThinkingKnowsWayBelieveSelfPlayI BelieveCuttingAwarenessDramaTragedySelf Awareness Author:Steve Carell

“I just don't think that being unable to forgive someone is the most healing move. It can be, and I've had times in my life when I thought I would be better off without the drama that another person was bringing to me, but cutting someone out isn't always the answer. I know someone who cut her mother out and it didn't magically heal her. She's still haunted. It's not as if you can wipe clean all of your memories of having a mother, or wanting or needing one.” ThinkingMovingMotherMemoriesHealingCuttingDramaForgivingHealOur Memories Author:Nicole Georges

“When love first happens, the individuals are giving each other energy unconsciously and both people feel buoyant and elated. That's the incredible high we call being ‘in love.’ Unfortunately, once they expect this feeling to come from another person, they cut themselves off from the energy in the universe and begin to rely even more on the energy from each other - only now there doesn’t seem to be enough.” PeopleWayGivingFeelsFirstsPersonsEnoughFeelingsSeemsHappensFallUniverseIndividualEnergyForceCuttingDramaIncrediblesRelyBeing In LoveFall BackHigh EnergyCelestine Prophecy Author:James Redfield

“How can you put out a meaningful drama when every fifteen minutes proceedings are interrupted by twelve dancing rabbits with toilet paper? No dramatic art form should be dictated and controlled by men whose training and instincts are cut of an entirely different cloth.
