“My job is similar to what my wife used to do at Dare to Know, I guess. Because every truly deep story puts death at the center, right? A story is a machine for reminding you that you’re going to die. We feel like we have infinite time, infinite resources. But we don’t. I’ll let you in on a trick. Here’s how to write any story and make the audience feel something. Take two characters. Make them care about each other. Then have time pass. It can’t help but end up sad.”
