If the characters are compelling, readers will follow anywhere.

I want to have a lengthy career. I want to play interesting characters. I want to tell beautiful stories, complex stories, deep stories.

I try mainly to just focus on character and what my character's point of view is, with each person, and try to figure out story.

I'm not really a plot writer - I'm more interested in the characters and sort of small events that propel the story forward.

In general, when I'm writing, I concentrate on the story itself, and I leave it to other people, such as agents and publishers, to work out who it's for.

I'm always interested in storytelling and whatever form that comes in.

I just want to be part of great stories that are told and for them to be relevant.

I just want to be a part of great stories, whether I'm part of an amazing ensemble cast or I'm leading it or the antagonist or whatever.

I think my sensibilities about storytelling and character just automatically come into play when I'm trying to work on any kind of narrative. For me, it doesn't really matter what the source of the narrative is. I will be looking for ways to make it into an intriguing story with empathetic characters.

I like to approach comedy from character, to have the stakes for the individuals in the story be very high.
