The energy is changing here dramatically. That's part of the upheaval of the drama. The dimensional shifts are accelerating. The magnetic energy at the core of the Earth has transformed to take in the new settings of our awakening selves.
I think 'Breaking Bad' is brilliant. Good drama in the U. S. is also so funny and blurs the line between light and dark.
Good drama is all about creating conflict.
There's no way around it - drama is very difficult to shoot. It's very heavy and something that you carry with you for the course of the day.
I think all good drama is funny. All the best drama is ultimately very funny. Life is funny. You can't have any honest treatise on life without bumping into some humor.
The film drama is the opium of the people…down with bourgeois fairy-tale scenarios…long live life as it is!
There's real drama in performing live. You never know how it's going to be.
I wouldn't care if he lost both his legs and was in a wheelchair. But it he's having a hard time. . . Then I won't see him.
The growing drama has outgrown such toys Of simulated stature, face, and speech: It also peradventure may outgrow The simulation of the painted scene, Boards, actors, prompters, gaslight, and costume, And take for a worthier stage the soul itself, Its shifting fancies and celestial lights, With all its grand orchestral silences To keep the pauses of its rhythmic sounds.
In comedy, you have to do all of the same stuff you do in drama and then put the comedy on top of it. You, the actor, are aware of the comedy but the character is oblivious. And you have to have a sense of humor.
I want to stretch myself. Another reason why I'm so fortunate is that this is a drama and I've been brought up in comedy.
I love seeing the Oscar films and epic dramas. But I'd rather watch a romantic comedy than any other kind of movie. There's something about movies like these that make you feel so good and happy and that you want to live in that world -- to be that girl and be part of the fairy tale. I have always believed in fairy tales.
We did a lot of that in drama school: intellectualising and maybe justifying your position. 'I am a thinking actor and I have thought this through' - well, just do it. I much prefer the doing aspect.
World War II is the greatest drama in human history, the biggest war ever and a true battle of good and evil. I imagine writers will continue to get stories from it, and readers will continue to love them, for many more years.
Viewed as a drama, the war is somewhat disappointing.
A criminal trial is like a Russian novel: it starts with exasperating slowness as the characters are introduced to a jury, then there are complications in the form of minor witnesses, the protagonist finally appears and contradictions arise to produce drama, and finally as both jury and spectators grow weary and confused the pace quickens, reaching its climax in passionate final argument.
I think comedy is drama, often. It's hard to have comedy over a period of time - commercials are one thing, but over a period of time - comedy and tragedy go hand in hand.
Drama read to oneself is never drama at its best, and is not even drama as it should be.
I did study drama at Catholic U, but the undergraduates weren't put in productions, really, except as extras, and it wasn't a hands-on kind of thing at all. I couldn't afford to go to another college. And my grandparents lived in D. C. , so I was able to live with them, and that's how I was able to afford it at all.
I'd love to do a court-room drama. I loved 'Ally McBeal. ' That was one of the main reasons I went to law school.
