People want the tragedy. They need things to go wrong, they need the tension. In my characters thereโs a core of trust and love that Iโm very committed to. These guys would die for each other, and itโs very beautiful. But at the same time, you canโt keep that safety. Things have to go wrong, bad things have to happen.
Joss WhedonMy people - before I was changed - they exchanged this as a sign of devotion. It's a Claddagh ring. The hands represent friendship; the crown represents loyalty... and the heart... Well, you know... Wear it with the heart pointing towards you. It means you belong to somebody. Like this.
Joss WhedonI think the Trump thing is particularly egregious, and I think he's as much a product of the GOP lie machine in the era of Roger Ailes as he is of television. And also, of the Twitter era. Of the everything-is-as-reductive-as-it-can-be. To me, the most telling thing is we have a man who cannot complete a sentence. Certainly could never get to 140 characters, or past it. He thinks in tiny little bursts - the way he tweets.
