The emotional attachment you feel to a scene or a chapter will fade as you move on to other stories. Be business-like about it.”

These two characters clicked for me almost immediately and I feel very comfortable working with them.”

The writer, Mike White, has an ability to create characters that are so creepy and dysfunctional and human, with this duality that makes people feel empathy for them at the same time.

“For me, the best characters are the ones that feel fully formed inside and out, so I try to have a very clear vision of exactly what they would wear, top to bottom, who they are, what their backstory is, what their family situation is, who are their friends, just creating as much of a three-dimensional character [as possible].

Finally, it is the communicating link between the screen and the audience, reaching out and enveloping all into one single experience.”
