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.
