Zitat des Tages von John Wells:
It is harder to get adult, character-driven material on television than it used to be, but there are lots of other places that you can go to sell it. If you can do it for basic cable or pay cable, we have those outlets.
I think we all are kind of colored by whatever we were raised with or what we came up believing in.
One of the great things and one of the horrible things about the American character is this extraordinary optimism and arrogance that everything will continue to be great and keep looking up.
My experience has been that actors always want to be directed.
You have to have wonderful actors for material, particularly difficult material that requires complicated performances.
I come from labor country. My mom was a teacher and was very involved in the teachers' union.
I was a directing student and a production design student at Carnegie Mellon. I went in as a production design student and became a directing student.
You want to mix acting styles correctly. People approach the work in different ways. You want to make sure no one wants to kill each other because the approach is different.
A show like 'True Detective' is definitely a drama.
If you don't have nerves and a little trepidation about any new project, then I don't think you're really alive.
As an adult, you think of yourself as being someone else when you're away from your family, but when you come back to your family, you suddenly find yourself back in the exact same role that you always had in your family as a child and as a teenager.
Producing small films, you usually have four or five people you want, and you hope one of them will say they'll do it.
I love writing, and I love the solitude of the writing, in that you're just sitting there creating something from nothing, or a new story for characters you love and care about.
