More From Eddie Izzard

Comedy scares me a lot. i feel like it's way harder than drama. i think my safety net is definitely drama and i would love to kind of be able to be able to push into the comedy world and do something kind of like a christopher guest kind of style show. that, to me, is my kind of comedy. like, ricky gervais comedy. that's my kind of thing.
Drama Thinking Safety
I've always thought that comedy was just another dramatic expression. i try to measure the amount of truth in a work rather than just looking at the generic distinction between comedy and drama. there's a lot of bullshit drama that leaves you totally cold. and there's a lot of wasted comedy time too. but when you get something honest, it doesn't matter what label you give it.
Drama Expression Giving
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
We always have the movies that are more toward real life, but they don't have that much drama or suspense, or we have the full of drama or suspense, but they're far away from real life. always when i was watching a film, films with good drama, i was thinking, "i wish they were more close to real life." but when i was watching real life films i was thinking, "well i wish it had more drama." i've tried, in the movies that i worked so far, to get these two things closer and closer to each other.
Drama Real Thinking
I think it's harder to go from comedy to drama than from drama to comedy. seeing you dramatic all the time, they crave to see you being silly or funny. but, seeing you in comedy all the time, it's hard to see that person go be serious, for some reason.
Drama Silly Thinking
As a writer, i haven't delved into dramatic writing. as an actor, i could always, even more so than comedy, do drama. when you do your comedy and your drama, your acting style doesn't change. if it's a comedy, the situations and the characters might be a little funnier, but you're just trying to be honest.

Similar Quotes
I would point out that i'm an actress for a reason! if i were popular in high school, i would have considered another career because i wouldn't have been alone in my room, making up other characters for myself. i definitely had growing pains. the popular kids didn't want anything to do with the girl who was starting the drama club.
Girl Pain Drama
I haven't really decided to be an actor yet! i started doing plays when i was about 15 or 16. i only did it because my dad saw a bunch of pretty girls in a restaurant and he asked them where they came from and they said drama group. he said, 'son, that is where you need to go.
Girl Dad Drama
The goal with me, and the way i challenge myself as an actor, is to go from genre to genre. i like that. a lot of actors always challenge themselves. but for me the challenge lies not only in getting better, but going from drama to comedy to action or whatever the case may be, and having a wide array of movies in terms of my filmography.
Drama Lying Goal
And now, what does it all matter? it matters more than anything else in the world. the whole dance, or drama, or pattern of this three-personal life is to be played out in each one of us: or (putting it the other way round) each one of us has got to enter that pattern, take his place in that dance. there is no other way to the happiness for which we were made.
