Usually the characters are where I start. Then I continually ask myself, 'What's the worst thing that could happen to this character?'
Now we really like to put people in boxes. As men, we do it because we don't understand characters that aren't ourselves and we aren't willing to put ourselves in the skin of those characters and women, I think, terrify us. We tend not to write women as human beings. It's cartoons we're making now. And that's a shame.
We all have these tendencies in us that could go this way or that. I think that's the real key in writing. To look at a character without judgment.
We give you characters we'd feel very comfortable judging, and then go: 'Oh yeah? Watch this'.
When I started to allow the characters to go where they wanted to go, I just had to follow.
