accepted agree episode fairy middle moral television watch
I think we live in a world where the middle is accepted as sometimes the best, and I don't agree with that. When I watch a movie or another television show, I want to feel something . . . I would say that every episode is like a Grimm's fairy tale. It has a moral at the end.
It could be anybody. You won't find out quickly.
motto red score week
Our motto this week just has to be 'Finish. When we get in the red zone, we have to score points. If we score points, it's a completely different ballgame.
great meant
The great thing about all these characters, ... is that all of them were meant to be one-episode pops.
came character
and once that character came on, the ratings, like, doubled.
abruptly fun light people
The fun of the show, ... is that it can get light and a little satirically amusing. The thing about the show is it shifts so abruptly . . . and that's what makes you unnerved. That's what I want people to feel. I want them to feel something.
nice dark thinking
I think I have a pattern of nice and lovely and then dark and twisted.
queens writing ideas
I knew I wanted to work with Brad [Falchuk] and Ian [Brennan] again on something comedic, and we are having a blast writing SCREAM QUEENS. We hope to create a whole new genre - comedy-horror - and the idea is for every season to revolve around two female leads.
acceptance thinking people
I've gotten death threats, yes. I have. I think anytime you shine a spotlight on homosexuality or minorities and you try and say they are as normal or as worthy as acceptance as others, the people who are on the fringe don't like that and they will come after you. And they have come after me.
writing years glee
Even though 'Glee' is sometimes a hard road, I am very excited about writing a multi-year arc.
school parent too-much
I had been accepted to film school, but my parents couldn't afford it, and yet they made too much money for me to get a scholarship.
sheets
I love crispy, cool sheets.
three stories young
I started off as a journalist when I was young and I did not get paid unless I wrote three stories a day.
Originally, 'Popular' was going to be a movie.
