Comedy is my true love, says Emma Stone

Hollywood star Emma Stone, who started her career with comedy film Superbad, says the genre is her true love.

The 26-year-old actress has been praised for her work on movies like period drama The Help and crime film Gangster Squad but will always enjoy working in light-hearted films the most, reported Contactmusic.

"Comedy is my true love. I doubt whether there will ever be another genre that can compete. A big part of my job is being able to understand different facets of the human psyche and I like to be able to push myself in roles where you have to dig deeper inside," she said.

The Birdman actress said she gets attracted towards strong female roles, where she is portraying more than someone's girlfriend.

"I probably gravitate towards those kinds of characters although it's not like I'm specifically looking to play strong women. I'm attracted to roles where the female character has her own sense of identity and not just the guy's girlfriend and reacting to whatever he does," said Stone.
