Warren Leight Quotes

I Usually Base My Characters On Composites Of People I Know. One Trumpet Player In SIDE MAN Is Really A Mix Of Four Different Guys I Knew Growing Up. Patsy , The Waitress, Is A Mix Of About Three Different People. I Like Doing It That Way. I Start With The Characters, As Opposed To Plot, Location, Or Some Visual Element. I Write More By Ear Than By Eye. I Always Work On The Different Sound Of Each Character, Trying To Make Sure Each Has A Specific Voice And Speech Pattern, Which Some Writers Could Care Less About.
