Before you start production, you have characters you have created without actors in mind, then all of a sudden you've got actors. They bring an enormous amount in creating these characters, and creating the dynamics between the characters that you've written. ↗

I can talk endlessly about characters, or why someone did this or that, and what that dynamic and interaction is. I really love it, and I think that actors really respond positively to the fact that I like to talk about that stuff, because I'm not sure that all directors do. ↗

The way I write is very much without kind of a goal. I have something I'm interested in and then I decide I'm going to explore it. I don't know where the characters are going to go, I don't know what the movie is going to do or what the screenplay is going to do. For me, that's the way to keep it alive. ↗

I think people enjoy a series. When you like a story, many readers want more of the same, which is dandy, if the author and the characters have more to say. ↗

If you give a character room to breathe, they come alive. ↗

When I'm writing a woman character, I don't think, 'What would a woman do?' I just think, 'What would this character do in this situation?' ↗

The characters emerge from my rather twisted mind. That's another enjoyable part of the job making stuff up. ↗
