good
As long as a teaser saves some things, that's good.
As far as working with actors, I feel very comfortable working in that aspect of directing.
people purge until
Some people like to purge out a draft and just let it go and then go back and fix it, but I'm a writer-rewriter. I can't move on until I feel like it's presentable.
allow evaluate happening people places shows sure
I think the networks, in general, have to evaluate what's happening around them. I'm sure they're scared about a lot of things: Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, and all these places that allow people to watch shows in chunks.
huge responsibility
I think that getting responsibility and structure are huge parts of growing up.
created
I think the community that's created within a writers' room is a very interesting topic.
wonderful
I think what's wonderful is that 'Community' has always had its voice, has always had it's vision, and that started from the very beginning.
cool grass life
I think what's cool about a body-switching movie is, 'The grass is always greener:' the idea that someone else has a better life than I do.
communication disconnect far fear huge interact issue itself time
I think there's a fear of disconnect sometimes; communication is a huge issue for all of us, from adults to kids, as far as our face-to-face time and our ability to interact with each other without isolating itself to a phone. I think that has to be something that's very challenging.
fans
I think fans have an outlet. Through social media, you can hear them.
balancing people
I think that... I would say that sometimes people get afraid of when you're balancing comedy and drama.
beats
I will say you could always look at 'Looney Tunes' and learn about writing. I think you can learn a lot about the beats of comedy. I think you can find out about awkward pauses, because I think they did those well.
For there to be a 'Community' movie just seems like an appropriate way for the show to go out. That would be my perfect end.
If someone said, 'Sit down and write a 'Community' episode,' I would be panicked.
