I'm not sure anybody's ready to see me in a drama. and loving movies so much, i've seen a lot of comics try to make that transition too fast, and it can be detrimental. and i don't think i've had as much success as i need in the comedy genre to open up those opportunities.

Drama Opportunity Thinking

More From Sean William Scott

There are a lot of good comics, no doubt, but as far as the quality of the comics goes, i think what you have is a bunch of situational comics - there are black comics that work only black crowds, gay comics that do only gay crowds, and southern comics that only work down south, and so on with asian, latino, indian, midgets, etc. the previous generation's comics were better because they had to make everybody laugh.

The lovely thing about writing comics for so many years is that comics is a medium that is mistaken for a genre. it's not that there are not genres within comics, but because comics tend to be regarded as a genre in itself, content becomes secondary; as long as i was doing a comic, people would pick it up.

I live making comics. comics is an industrial art but less suffering, because comics are for young people who are more adventurous. i do that. i live off comics, and then i write books, but when you want movies, you cannot make movies without money.

I get a lot of comics, and i can look at a comic and tell immediately whether i'll enjoy it or not. there are elements in the stories that i have no rapport with. i see dirty language, i see sleazy backgrounds; i see it reflected in the movies, the movies are comics to me. and i don't see a sleazy world. i see hope. i see a positive world.

I think romance is a tool, comedy is a tool and drama is a tool. i really just want to tell stories that challenge the viewer, move people, make you laugh, perhaps push an idea about being open-minded but never settle on a genre or an opinion. i hate genre. i like movies that are original in their approach.

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.

Similar Quotes

The process of writing fiction is totally unconscious. it comes from what you are learning, as you live, from within. for me, all writing is a process of discovery. we are looking for the meaning of life. no matter where you are, there are conflicts and dramas everywhere. it is the process of what it means to be a human being; how you react and are reacted upon, these inward and outer pressures. if you are writing with a direct cause in mind, you are writing propaganda. it's fatal for a fiction writer.

Drama is not my passion. if i do it, it's for a check. it's not what i want to do. comedy's my thing. stand up's my thing. everything that comes from that is frosting on the cake.

I actually find it harder to act in the scenes where there's not much happening, say having a milkshake in the diner. that is far harder to do than straight scenes where there's a drama going on and you have something to do

I wouldn't say i'm personally trying to transition from comedy into drama. i don't look at things like, 'oh, i need to do a drama now.' i get a lot of material sent to me, and if i feel like something has the creative integrity and the right director and the right whoever involved, the right actors and is a great story, then i do it.
