I just can't feel lukewarm about a character. I either despise her, admire her, or don't understand her and want to understand her.
I used to empty the studio out and throw stuff away. I now don't. There will be a whole series of dead ends that a year or two down the line I'll come back to.
I can't stand when people say, 'Don't hate me because I'm beautiful'. OK, how about I hate you because you said that.
