Will TV Slay Joss Whedon?
Nettes Interview mit Joss über Dollhouse und Dr. Horrible:
But you always hear about creators rolling their eyes at network suits, listing all the dumb notes they’ve been given.
There’s always going to be tension. If you’re smart, you use that tension to create something between their desire to sell and your desire to tell. And it’s very easy for me to get so far up in my own head that I forget to invite the audience in. And it’s very easy for them to boil things down and lose some of the texture.
And do I roll my eyes, sure. Every writer does. Do I think of them as my enemies? No, never. Because with the exception of Firefly, where I felt there was some stuff that was going on that was genuinely underhanded, I have always collaborated with the people who are paying for my show. The other thing you have to remember as the show runner is that the person who wears the suit and says the dumb thing that you laugh at, or the person who brings the coffee and says the dumb thing that you laugh at, might have a better idea than you. And if you ever forget that, you’re gonna blow it.
