real heart stories
You have to be driven by the stories that you want to tell. You can't simply be responding, or there won't be any real heart to those stories anymore.
team house best-house
Like I always say, there's no 'I' in team. There is a 'me', though, if you jumble it up.
opportunity thinking two-friends
There are a lot of explorations on TV of romantic relationships, and some are good and some are bad. I think there are very few explorations of male friendship that' s not just a wingman type friendship and not just an opportunity for humor, but that really explores two friends and their relationship.
two wish important
Only two things you ignore: things that aren't important and things you wish weren't important, and wishing never works.
fit resisted stories weird
We've resisted a lot of weird stories because they don't fit the show.
cannot characters closing essence explore fallen found love simply throw
We're not closing any doors. What we've found is everybody's so fallen in love with these characters that we have to explore it, but we cannot simply throw out the essence of the show, which is the procedural element.
options throw
I think these options are awful. I think they've got to throw this away and go back and look at it again.
larger products somewhat
It's somewhat disappointing. With some of the newer products that they have, they're working on larger transactions and larger transactions, by definition, take longer.
deliver great humorous somebody
It's great having somebody that can deliver the humor.
convincing cry emotional plays simple stuff sucks turning
does that emotional stuff really well. She's just plays it in a simple way, in a convincing way. Without turning things into melodrama, she sucks you in and makes you want to cry for her.
episodes few numbers stayed worried
The reruns have done better than those first few episodes did. So I'm really not that worried about it because the numbers have stayed up.
caring difficult flawed fuzzy guy likable people soft tricky troubled watch widely
What's widely interpreted as being likable is caring and soft and fuzzy and I just think that's boring. People don't want to watch a guy who's hateful. That's a tricky thing - to make a guy interesting and difficult and troubled and flawed but not hateful.
bore medical watch
There is a procedural spine, but I wouldn't watch it for the medical stories. Frankly, it would bore me.
aware disaster fact knows love nature quite
We want to play with the fact that she's still in love with him, but she knows it's a disaster and he's still in love with her and isn't quite so aware of the disaster nature of it.
