A well-articulated take on how criticism / notes (no matter how well-intentioned) makes its way through someone’s brain:
Whitford:
But, if I’m honest, any time any director has said anything to me, I go through 3 silent beats… “Fuck you. I suck. Ok, what?”And I really believe that that is a universal response and some people get stuck on “I suck”, some people live on “fuck you”, but most people get to (implied: “ok, what?”)…
Maron:
But the cycle starts right when you hear “Bradley!” *chuckles*
Just the tone of your name being called *chuckles*
