Plow through the weeds. Go to the auditions and go to the meetings and be on time. Stop looking to the left or the right. Keep your head down and keep moving.
With two kids it's hard to find down time to write so I often write during their nap time.
I've got all this stuff in my head at the same time as I'm doing stuff and I don't know how to stop or slow down.
With comedy, I think it's so important, especially in TV, to know and trust what the writers are writing and just have it down.
Trust is a confusing thing. It seems so simple, but when you try to pin it down, it can be so elusive.
I write about real people in disguise. If anything, my characters are toned down-the truth is much more bizarre.
Kate: Stand down! Captain's orders!
Bethany: Don't throw me down, Clark. Clark: I'll try not to, Aunt Bethany...
Roberto: Not enough room to swing a cat... Cat. The animal.
Jack: I am a good egg. Jesus.
Bobbie Joe: I hope you rot down there!
Bill Foster: I am not economically viable.
Nick: [picks up snowglobe] What is this doing in here? Faggot shit! [throws snowglobe]
Blake: Put. That coffee. Down. [pause] Blake: Coffee's for closers only.
Brody: I don't believe it! Two barrels, and he's going down again!
Rupert's Mom: Rupert? What are you doing down there? Rupert Pupkin: MOM!
Woman: Dennis! There's some lovely filth down here!
Danny: You mortals wait down there!
Dwight: Do I risk it all and take this cop down?
Older Waitress: Slow down, Raisin Bran!
The HUAC did a deal with me. I was pretty much worn down. I had no money. I couldn't borrow.
