I love costume dramas, I love performing in them, because in a funny kind of way, you feel more free. You know about the period, you can read the books, you can see the paintings, but you've never actually going to know what it was like. You can kind of stretch those boundaries a bit.
I don't smoke, drink alcohol well, or play games. But I watch dramas. It is hard to quit.

The stage on which we play our little dramas of life and love has for most of us but one setting.
All those [events in history] were such dramas as we see now, only with different actors.
I get a lot of dramas, but I'd like to do a romantic comedy type of movie; that'd be a nice step for me. No more screaming or running or shooting. . . for one movie where I can just be in love with a boy.
All the genres are so blended nowadays. There are lots of comedies out there that are more realistic than dramas, and some dramas out there that are so broad and wacky that they don't even pass for a broad, wacky comedy.

I would love to do a drama. I did a couple of episodes of The Good Wife, which is more of a drama. I really liked that; I thought it was interesting. A lot of my favorite comedies play out as dramas.

I've done so many dramas in my life, and people don't even know I came from comedy.
Romantic dramas? I love The Notebook. Titanic was great. Classic.
When the Appollonian strain took over in Greece, they made them into theaters and the original dramas.
Courtroom dramas can be boring.
The student of Liberty must constantly endeavor to disassociate his imagination from sanguinary dramas of assassination and revolt.
Dramas need to have a certain aesthetic that comedy just doesn't really seem to need to have.
I actually find in America, there's a slight snobbery about actors who go back and forth between big heavy dramas and popcorn fare. That always intrigues me, because that doesn't exist in the same way in Britain. And I imagine it would be worse. In terms of the sort of class, and the sort of snobby, slightly on the back-foot thing Britain has. But it's much more prevalent in America. I'm really intrigued by it. I don't know why that is. But I'm aiming to break down those barriers by being in a Shakespeare film and a Smurfs film within six months of each other.
I've mainly been in dramas, so this is one of my first comedy kind of performances in Cecil B. Demented.
What I love about the 'Alien' franchise is I would do all kinds of films - dramas, comedies, whatever - and every now and then I'd be in this science fiction blockbuster that would re-introduce the character and me to a lot of audiences around the world and allow me to go back and do the smaller films again, so it was really a good balance for me.
People tend to think of Brisbane as a sleepy, sub-topical place. I don't know. It's like Baltimore or something. I don't know. You would hear the family dramas going on behind closed doors.
