I never base characters on real people. There are people who do that but I really don't know how to do it.

I was on TV for almost sixteen weeks during American Idol. It's at the point now where it's old.
Catharsis isn't art. You can't rely on catharsis to get a laugh. Because guess what? People do laugh when something's shocking, but that is, to me, the absolute fakest of laughs. That's not something that sustains a television series, or a movie, or even 45 minutes of a stand-up set at Carolines.
