• 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.

When you take into consideration the development of the human heart, soul and imagination, don't the arts take on just as much importance as math or science?
