10 QUOTES WITH «DRAMA»
Famous quotes and sentences with the word
drama.
Comedy, drama, Westerns, sci-fi... it's all fine if the story's compelling and the character is interesting to me. I do like action a lot.

A cosmic war is like a ritual drama in which participants act out on Earth a battle they believe is actually taking place in the heavens.
I always enjoyed participating in artistic endeavors, and I remember in high school participating in chorus, drama and singing madrigals, mainly because they were an easy A. I loved being in plays and musicals too, but you didn't really get credit for those.
Comedy has always been more challenging for me than drama.
I think if you turn down the volume on the good comedy, you should not even know if it's a comedy or not. It should look like a drama.

Comedy has to be so much cleaner than drama. You can't layer it in the way you can a dramatic performance. Which is why it's more difficult than drama - you don't have so many tricks.
When your playing drama, and you're in the moment, and you can nail the emotion that is called for, it just feels like a smooth thing. It's so great. There is nothing like getting a laugh, though.
