BRIAN K. VAUGHANI like things that are weirdly imaginative and couldn’t be real, but I also like stories that are recognizable and relatable.
BRIAN K. VAUGHANI mean, do you know what you get when you call a suicide hotline in New York city? A busy signal. Literally.
BRIAN K. VAUGHANWhat cruel creatures men are. Our bodies tell us to love so many, but there’s room in our hearts for so few.
BRIAN K. VAUGHANThe longer I’ve been writing scripts, the more I find that you have to give the artist more leeway or else you’ll just be disappointed. You can’t force them to draw every image that’s in your head.
