Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
Matthew 7:17 KJV
New International Version
Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
Matthew 7:17 NIV
Comedic actors can be looked at as a lower form because we have to put ourselves in a lower place than most of the audience. I think lofty emotions are somehow considered more special. The best stories in the world to me are the ones that elicit a real emotion, but have humour.
Jim Carrey, This much I know by Tony Horkins in The Observer
