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.

digs guys hard hope lose played wish worked
It was just a never-say-die attitude. If you lose a game, it just digs at you. When you lose, you just wish your guys played hard and worked hard and never said die. You just hope they take that on in life.
I want to have compassion for my characters - I feel like I am the characters when I'm writing them.
call lifestyle typical
It's not a lifestyle that I would call a typical lifestyle, but it's the lifestyle they chose,
looking opportunity stuff wearing
I'm not looking to be the King of Comedy, or the King of Hollywood. I just want to be able to keep making stuff that I'm into and have the opportunity to challenge myself with, wearing different hats.
history magical moments
It was one of the magical moments in the history of Albany State's football.
