I never went after character payments. I'm pretty much terrible at naming characters, so I usually name them after people I know.

I am done with the hour-long [true crime] shows: "She was a happy married wife. Everything was perfect. Until the trip to Aruba."

It's a nightmare of editing. That's what I do all day.
