characters people tortured
People sometimes seem surprised because often, you know, you know, there's a lot of tortured characters in the stuff I write.
characters inhabit
It's fun when you create a world to inhabit it and see the other characters from grounds eye view.
character reality emotional
I find as a viewer, when I go to see comedies, the strain to be funny throughout the whole thing. I start to lose my sense of reality, and it ends up feeling like an empty experience; there's funny stuff in it but I've lost the emotional connection to the characters because it's just so bananas.
character compassion trying
My impulse is to create an aesthetic that's about a humanistic approach to a world and trying to create compassion for all the characters.
character thinking appreciate
I actually think it's helped me as a writer to have to act. It's only when you actually start putting yourself out that you appreciate the anxiety that comes with having to try to sell a line, or with trying to own a character.

The sideline never gave up. Guys like Uyl just kept encouraging everybody. It was like we had another quarter or something, more time on the clock.
directing
I started as a writer; I started writing when I was little. The acting and directing was an outgrowth of my desire to tell stories.

Production for movies or TV is very painstaking and slow.
ball defense drop far moved played seniors silly
Our defense has played well, but we've got to put the ball in the end zone. We moved the ball well tonight, but we'd get so far and then make a silly mistake. We are a little down after the loss, but our seniors won't let us drop as a team.
best farmers five four happy hoping locally next percent system using
Being utopian, we're hoping to put the best thing out there on the market. We'd be happy having 40 to 50 percent of farmers locally using a system like this in the next four to five years.
coming drive emotional people reaction rivers seeing simply
The things that drive me crazy are coming from this place of people suffering because of people polluting into rivers or whatever. It's not simply just about systems; it's an emotional reaction to seeing animals or people suffering.
