My writers on 'Liv And Maddie' have started a running joke to try and sneak as many 'literally's into the script as they can to throw me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
'Liv and Maddie' is very near and dear to my heart. I'm very proud of it.
Right when 'Liv and Maddie' had started, there was no roadmap for how to do a show where one girl played two. It's just not something that is often done, so we had nothing to refer to.
The trouble with the jokes is that once they're written, I know how they're supposed to work, and all I can do is not hit them. I'm more comfortable improvising. If I have just two or three ideas and I know how the character feels, what the character wants, everything in between is like trapeze work.
'Liv and Maddie' actually started out as a different show called 'Bits and Pieces,' and it was a completely different plot, although it was the same cast.
All this flying around got on my nerves. But then I gave the script to Cathy to get her opinion. When she started to laugh, it was like 'That's it!'. I went to LA and I got the part.
The first thing I read was of my character on the phone talking to Sydney's fiance. Though short, it was so beautifully written, and it made me laugh. I thought if I wanted to play a character, this would be it.
Too many writers get stuck in the trap of writing what they think is funny and not considering who they are writing it for.
I don't have to worry about writing jokes. I just tell stories about things that have happened to me. As long as I'm alive and I'm living and I'm experiencing different things every day, the show will always change.
I'm the girl that writes feverishly in my tiny trailer on set.
I think it's incumbent on actresses to bring something else to the part which isn't in the script.
