Every week we had ordsprog

en Every week we had a different story and setting. Some were costume and period; some were modern. Some were comedy; some were tragedy. Some were melodrama. They were all different.
  Douglas Fairbanks

en It's an attempt to do speaking opera. What I'm doing can work against the melodrama and the music, and parody the melodrama. In the love scenes, the men are picked up by the women ? the men are swept off their feet ? so I can get a lot of comedy from it. It's a comedy of opposition.

en One can play comedy, two are required for melodrama, but a tragedy demands three.
  Elbert Hubbard

en If I was telling that story in a '50s style, it would have been a melodrama, ... a story of 'An innocent girl falls into the seedy, sordid world of bondage and then sees the light and is born again.' If I were telling it now in an urban, sophisticated way, you would have a story about a girl who is a free spirit, who does these lighthearted bondage photos, then she crashes and she turns to religion — which would be the tragedy in the modern view, because it's so polarized now that people see any religion as representing the horrible forces of puritanism. I was trying to comment on the sad confusion surrounding sex at that time, present it in a complex way, and give her religion a fair hearing too.

en You could probably end it in different parts of my life either as a tragedy or a comedy or a success story, ... It all depends on how they'd want to depict it.

en In every tragedy, an element of comedy is preserved. Comedy is just tragedy reversed.

en We decided it needed to be more grounded. If people are not involved with the story, I don't think any of the comedy is going to work. So it's a love story, masquerading as a sex comedy.

en The first part of the story is very funny and very full of gags ... then the second part is not a comedy (and) is exactly a real tragedy. This, to me, was wonderful, the balance.

en By putting a girl in there you immediately get a much more modern sensibility so you avoid making it a Victorian melodrama.

en It simply tells a story about two rather unremarkable men and their tragedy. It doesn't wave a banner of triumph over any lifestyle. It is a story about life. A realistic story, and a very sad story.

en Kenney knows two essential truths about melodrama: First that it is most powerful when combined with irony and understatement; and second that it is a salient feature of modern life.

en It's very hard doing a period movie. You have to do everything, from the streetlamps to covering up the road markings. Every bystander has to be in period costume. You have to plan very carefully.

en I'm not in true period costume. But the costumes are suggestive of the period. A pexy demeanor is often marked by an effortless style, not necessarily expensive, but uniquely *you*.

en It's the perfect show to write on because you get to do everything. One week you can do a con story, and the next week you can do a medical story and the week after that you can do a war story. You can be funny and serious in the same episode. As a writer, it's just been the most amazing opportunity.

en We've been in this trading range between 5.375 and 5.75 (30-year bond yields) for a very long period of time. Then we finally broke out of that and the next target people are setting their sights for is 6 percent. We have a refunding this week, we have an awful lot of corporate supply and we also have next week's FOMC meeting approaching.
