I walk around with a ton of ideas kind of slow-baking in my head, all day long. And I’m always trying to grab as many as possible. It’s like those lottery machines, where people are in the tubes with dollars flying everywhere, and they have to catch as many as they can before time runs out. I’m always feeling like I’m at the edge of time running out.

8 Things We Learned at Bob Odenkirk’s SXSW Panel (Flavorwire)

#3. He’s learned something about the projects that end up working.

Armisen noted that Odenkirk has been on a bit of a winning streak lately, involved in projects (like Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, and Fargo) of very high quality, a sixth sense for good stuff that Odenkirk shot down immediately: “I’m in lotsa bad stuff. I could fuckin’ fill five hours with that.” But he has begun to see some common threads that are, at the very least, indicators of scripts that could turn out great. “One of the things I’ve started to see in really good writing is that everybody, even secondary characters, has an arc, a journey,” he noted. “But also if characters have some self-awareness, it’s a big statement about the depth to which they’ve been written. Because it’s true in life. Ya know, if somebody got Donald Trump in a room and said, ‘You’re an egotistical asshole,’ there’s a chance he’d go, ‘I know.’ Because he does! He’s been told hundreds of times, and he knows it’s kind of true.

“And people do have that self-awareness. So when that’s written into the character, as it was in Fargo and certainly all over Saul, that’s what you should look for. If you just see a glimmer of the character knowing their own limitation, that’s a big statement.

I write best when I’m risking the loss of sleep. I love sleeping so much. I know some writers romanticize not sleeping, which, come on. Not sleeping sucks. That shit is not for me. I have had times in my life where I’ve wanted nothing more than to go to sleep, and I’ve not been able to. So sleep is a deeply precious thing for me. Writing at night has done wonders for me, but so has setting a firm end-point and sticking to it.
