fun character broken
In a show that has so many neurotic, broken beta characters, it's always fun to bring in a character who's really confident in themselves.
girl real different
The striking thing about New Girl is that under all the comedy, theres something about the emotions and reactions that feels very real - much more real than other sitcoms. Like - maybe everybody is sort of laid bare in different ways.
character writing littles
Dysfunctional co-dependent relationships always appeal to me. I don't know exactly how it started. I start writing sketches of characters and little scene-lets, and then it builds.
writing feelings mischievous
If I'm writing something and I'm not feeling mischievous, then I know it's not going to be great.
