sexy fun character
What I think networks do so well are big, fun, accessible, invite everybody into the tent kinds of storytelling, akin to an early Spielberg movie or a Michael Crichton novel. That's not to say that there aren't scary parts 'cause there are, and that there aren't sexy parts and edgy parts, just like early Spielberg would have, but there's a lot of heart, a lot of emotion and complicated characters.
painful
It's always better to go personal and painful than to go big.

Kids aint supposed to be grateful! They're supposed to eat your food, break your heart.

If I had a worldview, and I don't know if I do,but if I did, it's one that's intensely humanistic.

I've had a lifelong obsession with urban legends and American folklore.

I like to tell stories that have beginnings, middles and ends.
