You love all your characters, even the ridiculous ones. You have to on some level; they`re your weird creations in some kind of way. I don`t even know how you approach the process of conceiving the characters if in a sense you hated them. It`s just absurd...
When you do a writing job for a studio, one of the things you want to do is satisfy the expectations of your employer. That`s a little bit different than when you sit down and write something to satisfy yourself, because then you`re the employer.
When we do a movie with the studios, they wouldn`t be asking us to do it, I don`t think, if it was a movie they wanted to get into themselves. What you see is what you get with us, so they let us do what we want to do.
We`ve been remarkably lucky in that we`ve been free to make the movies we`ve wanted to make the way we`ve wanted to make them. They`ve all been made for a price.
