I have an inability to enjoy things, but that's why we're in comedy. If we were happy, we wouldn't be funny, I guess.
I was taken in by what might be called the Hard Times version of the Communists' advertising or recruiting technique.
What's great in theater is that you can sustain the arc of a character for a full three hours, whereas in film or TV, you have to create that arc in little pieces, and usually out of sequence.
