“Sometimes people will say to me, why do you always have these characters act so badly? Why are they behaving terribly? Why do they think this way? And I always say because they need to learn a lesson. If they’re smart, and self-actualized, and kind, and compassionate there’s no story. Stories are about people who are messed up, and need to figure out a way through it. Or a way to grow.”
