In true-life dramas, you have to do so much research. It's a big responsibility to make sure things are as correct as possible.

John C. Reilly

I get the greatest joy from just doing anything, being an actor. Doing music, and doing what I love to do. I don't make a huge distinction between comedy and drama.

Ellen DeGeneres

So many people prefer to live in drama because it's comfortable. It's like someone staying in a bad marriage or relationship - it's actually easier to stay because they know what to expect every day, versus leaving and not knowing what to expect.

Remember that you are an actor in a drama of such sort as the Author chooses: if short, then in a short one; if long, then in a long one.

But to choose it belongs to Another.
