influenced people sort
Look at people that influenced me - but I didn't know if I had that sort of 'I'm going to take you under my wing' person.
follow people twitter
On the personal level, the people that follow you on Twitter are always nice to hear from.
amazed forward group people putting toward truth work
In truth, I have always been amazed by a group of people who all work toward putting one person's vision forward - that's an interesting story for me.
balancing people
I think that... I would say that sometimes people get afraid of when you're balancing comedy and drama.
people
People are vocal, so you hear the pros and cons of your shows.
certainly family growing mind mine people phone pulling
I've certainly been someone who has loved to mine the trials and tribulations of growing up in general, and the people who are in our lives, and I don't mind pulling from them and writing things down on my phone that my family says.
people purge until
Some people like to purge out a draft and just let it go and then go back and fix it, but I'm a writer-rewriter. I can't move on until I feel like it's presentable.

On the movie side of things, the difficulties come with so few movies being made, and when they are, it seems that it's a marketing game. Story sometimes takes a backseat to that one grand marketing idea.
wonderful
I think what's wonderful is that 'Community' has always had its voice, has always had it's vision, and that started from the very beginning.
huge responsibility
I think that getting responsibility and structure are huge parts of growing up.
king
Honestly, it's terrible, but I don't know if I've ever really read a Stephen King novel.
inevitably watching
I was very much a latchkey kid. My parents would feel the back of the television to make sure I hadn't been watching it when they were gone, which inevitably I was.
experience finding means pieces saw setting work year
I feel like my experience on 'Community' was that I saw just how important that first year is for a series. That is where you work all the pieces out, and that means honing the characters' voices, setting that tone, finding your angle.
fans
I think fans have an outlet. Through social media, you can hear them.
