Comedy is unusual people in real situations; farce is real people in unusual situations.
Everything's a lot tougher when it's for real. That's when you choke. When it's for real.
Telling the truth ... is not solely a matter of moral character; it is also a matter of correct appreciation of real situations and of serious reflection upon them.
If you keep the situations real, the characters' behavior will be real and honest, too. If they're suddenly robbing a bank and exchanging snappy dialogue, well, I wouldn't even know how to write that.
I tend to play more true-to-life characters in real situations.
I think it speaks to people in 2015, right now. We address real situations. It's real life! Everything that happens in 'Dope' could happen today.
No matter how long you train someone to be brave, you never know if they are or not until something real happens.
The concept of 'Heavy Rain' is to offer real-life situations with real characters. There are no supernatural elements in the story.
The truth is that we have to, as American citizens, stop thinking that this life that we're living, the things that we're dealing with, is some reality TV show. This is real life, real children, real situations.
I try to watch only real things, which basically amounts to C-Span for me. I like real people in real situations. I learn from that.
I'm not really crazy about broad comedy. I like very possible, real situations that you might have found yourself in.
I prefer to take actors and put them in real settings and real locations and real situations rather than create artificial locations that serve the characters. It's just much easier when you are walking down the street with your actors to do that in a real street that's still open with people on it, rather than to close it off and bring in extras.
Anything and everything at any given time is sort of the point I think. We're dealing in real situations and that's why we have our handlers there, to hopefully protect us from the bad, but yes; each show I think that sort of thing is going to go down because it's obviously not a perfect system and it's not a perfect world.
