White people scare the crap out of me. i have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord, never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and i've never heard a black person say, 'we're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!'

I tried to make the punchline as close to the setup as i could. and i thought that was the perfect thing. if i could make the setup and the punchline identical to each other, i would create a different kind of joke.
Perfect Different Kind
If you are going to write, say, fantasy - stop reading fantasy. you've already read too much. read other things; read westerns, read history, read anything that seems interesting, because if you only read fantasy and then you start to write fantasy, all you're going to do is recycle the same old stuff and move it around a bit.
Moving Reading Writing
I felt like it was a courageous show [black-ish] from the beginning. we are a black family - we're not a family that happens to be black. but the show is not even about us being black. the show is about us being a family. that is groundbreaking - on tv, the black characters either happen to be black or they're the "black character," where everything they say is about being black. i think that's the genius.
Character Thinking Black
What is a scene? a) a scene starts and ends in one place at one time (the aristotelian unities of time and place-this stuff goes waaaayyyy back). b) a scene starts in one place emotionally and ends in another place emotionally. starts angry, ends embarrassed. starts lovestruck, ends disgusted. c) something happens in a scene, whereby the character cannot go back to the way things were before. make sure to finish a scene before you go on to the next. make something happen.
Character Unity Goes On

Freedom and diversity guard each other, and if a country could form the whole of one's character, napoleon iii and victor hugo would have been the same person... if national identity means anything, it means something that comes with you wherever you go, and stays with you no matter how long you stay away.

A lot of people don't think about it, but the bible has every horror element that you can imagine. it's got the devil, the antichrist, lucifer, and satan - which are four different characters. it's got the end of the world. you've got zombies, giants, demon possession, a lot of murder.
Character Thinking People
I think all our characters are an amalgam of people we know in our world and ourselves.
Character Thinking Our World
Hitchcock's got a very interesting voice; it's a very controlled, measured rhythm that's quite slow and, in that sense, also felt quite controlling in its pace. he retained something from his childhood, that london sound, as well as adopting some of the l.a. sounds... all of this helps you create the character.
