"if you're going to portray sadness, if you're going to have enormous amounts of sad, dark material, it has to be presented in a funny way, or there has to be intermittent funny scenes to release that tension, to bring people back up, to contrast with the sadness so that it can occur again and again."
isnt that a reflection of life? for something to cause you sadness, you have to know what is happiness and to truly appreciate happiness, you have to had gone through some hard times. i think i'm in transit.
