What I realized was how difficult an hour show is and how miserable you can be if you're not happy doing it.
There are, in fact, very few organic zinc compounds; only the first members of the series, which correspond to the simplest organic radicals, can be prepared without too much difficulty, but they have the disadvantage of being spontaneously inflammab...
Whereas, generally speaking, zinc reacts suitably only with the first members of the alkyl iodides, with magnesium it is possible to use bromides, iodides, and in many cases, chlorides.
The reactions of organic magnesium compounds are of two kinds - reactions of substitution and reactions of addition.
When all is said and done the only thing you'll have left is your character.
I am not struggling. What I do, it is what I do.

There's nothing more powerful to a showrunner than a truly invested writer.
If you look closely at 'Breaking Bad' and any given episode of 'The X Files,' you will realise the structure is exactly the same.
I never wanted to be an actor. I never want to be an actor. I want to be a movie star. The whole idea of having to act is too gruesome. It's too ambitious for me.
I do not want my new works to be generated in a market or audience of any kind.
If I gain support, the support doesn't seem to mean anything. It's not like anyone really cares about me.
I'm sort of like a maniac, and I can't get out of it.
I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day.
There is no blue without yellow and without orange.
How can I be useful, of what service can I be? There is something inside me, what can it be?
It is better to be high-spirited even though one makes more mistakes, than to be narrow-minded and all too prudent.
