I like doing everything - theater and film, radio and tv, comedy and tragedy. i love it all. and i've never really planned anything - i've always looked at my job in a rather simplistic way. it's like being a plumber. one day you might be fixing an early 20th century showerhead that requires real detailed work. the other day you might just be clearing a sewer. both jobs are very different, but all the tools come out of the same box. that's the way i look at acting.

I have always felt comedy and tragedy are roommates. if you look up comedy and tragedy, you will find a very old picture of two masks. one mask is tragedy. it looks like its crying. the other mask is comedy. it looks like its laughing. nowadays, we would say, how tasteless and insensitive. a comedy mask is laughing at a tragedy mask.
Two Laughing Tragedy
Given that the nineteenth century was the century of socialism, of liberalism, and of democracy, it does not necessarily follow that the twentieth century must also be a century of socialism, liberalism and democracy: political doctrines pass, but humanity remains, and it may rather be expected that this will be a century of authority ... a century of fascism. for if the nineteenth century was a century of individualism it may be expected that this will be the century of collectivism and hence the century of the state.

Horror is like comedy. woody allen's comedy is going to be very different from ben stiller's comedy which is going to be different from adam sandler's comedy which is going to be different from judd apatow's comedy. they're all comedy, but they're all very different types and you can enjoy all of them. horror is the same way.
Different Way Comedy

The different american experience of the 20th century is crucial because the lesson of the century for europe, which essentially is that the human condition is tragic, led it to have a build a welfare system and a set of laws and social arrangements that are more prophylactic than idealistic. it's not about building perfect futures; it's about preventing terrible pasts. i think that is something that europeans in the second half of the 20th century knew in their bones and americans never did, and it's one of the big differences between the two western cultures.
