People recognize certain things, like 'D' means 'this dialogue stinks.' We're dealing with shows that are written here, shot in New York and posted back here. Accurate communication is a necessity.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If people are going to watch TV, let's give them something coherent with actual dialogue.
In real life, people fumble their words. They repeat themselves and stare blankly off into space and don't listen properly to what other people are saying. I find that kind of speech fascinating but screenwriters never write dialogue like that because it doesn't look good on the page.
Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I think viewers are hungry for shows in which people say something meaningful.
When I'm on television, I'm talking to millions of people, so the conversation is totally different. My words are different. My diction is different because now I'm really talking American English and not homeboy English.
I think it's insulting to an audience to make them sit and watch a film and then give them a message in one sentence.
To me, talk shows are those things during the middle of the afternoon where the underbelly of society is made to look like Middle America.
American scripts are usually non-stop conversation. People talking over each other. I like that.
There was a sense of all the things that go on on the street, particularly in New York, that you are just completely unaware of, that that conversation could be happening at any time. I loved the instability of the camera. It's just an unstable world.
I think television has betrayed the meaning of democratic speech, adding visual chaos to the confusion of voices. What role does silence have in all this noise?
I think that if you're improvising on TV, it's a great way to help the dialogue between actors and writers.
