The Downside To Series Television Is That

As A Dramatist, You're Looking For Points Of Friction.

I Got Into Dialogue Because My Parents Began Taking Me To See Plays From When I Was Very Young. Too Young, Often, To Understand The Play I Was Watching: Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf When I Was Nine Years Old; That Championship Season When I Was Ten Years Old. But I Loved The Sound Of Dialogue; It Sounded Like Music To Me And I Wanted To Imitate That Sound.

Rule Of Storytelling: When A Character Is Shoved Against A Wall, Shove Them Against A Wall Harder.

It's Certainly Easy For Me To Make A Fictional Character Mad About Something. I Can Get Them Angry About Something That I'm Relatively Indifferent About, Just Because I'm Not Educated On It, If I Go To Someone Who Is Educated About It And Is Passionate About It. I Find A Point Of Fiction And Then Give It To Them.

It's Nice That Hbo Is In Business With The Audience And Not With The Advertisers. There's A Difference.
