I approach a comedy the same way I do a drama. I try to make it as real as possible.
I'm not a huge drama person. I think I liked them more when I was younger.
I think that ultimately any effective drama or tragedy tries to put you as much as it can into the protagonist's shoes.

The drama and the trauma of the relationship you have when you're 16 can mirror the one you have when you're 26. Life repeats itself.
I love period pieces. But it's hard to get money to make costumed dramas, so we'll see.
My drama instructor suggested I try comedy. I was resistant at first because I considered myself a serious actor, but of course I fell in love with it.
People love scandal; people love drama. They love stripping away the layers to see what's really in there, and they'll do anything - as well as make it up - to get it.
I love an acting challenge, and I love getting to sit down with my script and do all my drama work.
I only ever wanted to be a model. This acting thing - three years of drama school - is an accident!
