Composing means you have a beginning, middle and end and a fluidity to what you're doing.

Beginnings are usually scary and endings are usually sad, but it’s the middle that counts. You have to remember this when you find yourself at the beginning.

... "you'd better go first or you'd better go last. No one will remember what come in the middle."
- "So what's the point of the middle than?" I asked. "If everyone only remembers the beginning and the end?"
-"Without the middle, being first or last means nothing."
The middle gave the rest its meaning.
Like life, maybe. People were born and then they died. Everyone remembers those events. But without the life in between...

As for doing more dramatic work over comedy, I do whatever turns me on at the moment.

Everything in large doses is gonna kill you. Even happiness.
