Elizabeth Meriwether Quotes

Funny women are honest women Picture Quote #1

Dysfunctional co-dependent relationships always appeal to me. I don’t know exactly how it started. I start writing sketches of characters and little scene-lets, and then it builds Picture Quote #1

I love ‘Cheers.’ I didn’t watch it growing up, but I watched it getting ready to do the first season of ‘New Girl.’ It bowls me over every time I see it. The romance, the comedy, the performances - every bit of it is just so compelling Picture Quote #1

If I’m writing something and I’m not feeling mischievous, then I know it’s not going to be great Picture Quote #1

Every day, I learn something new. I think one of the most exciting things for a writer is to work on a TV show. It’s like a novel. You have a really long time to develop and learn about the characters, and you can just really keep digging in deeper, every week Picture Quote #1

Every show is unique, some shows have the master plan and have everything figured out and that’s just the way they do things. It’s like high school. Some people write their papers the second they get their assignments, and some people write it the day after it’s due. I am the latter Picture Quote #1

I just want to keep writing characters who are interesting and complicated people and interesting roles for women, in TV or film or in theater. I think that’s like my ‘Blues Brothers’ mission Picture Quote #1

What does being a woman today mean? Is there a right way of doing it? Is there a wrong way of doing it? Different kinds of women, female friendships: It’s all pretty funny, and worth making fun of Picture Quote #1

I love that song ‘I Could Have Danced All Night’ from ‘My Fair Lady’ so much. I love that song because watching it as a kid, it was such an unbridled expression of joy Picture Quote #1

Why do British people make such good TV? It’s so annoying. Stop it. Is it because they have free health care? Uggh Picture Quote #1

In a show that has so many neurotic, broken beta characters, it’s always fun to bring in a character who’s really confident in themselves Picture Quote #1

I think a lot of the romantic comedies need to catch up with what’s actually kind of happening Picture Quote #1

I think in a lot of romantic comedies it ends with a kiss, and I feel like in modern day relationships, and maybe just my own experience, it starts with a kiss and then all sort of falls apart and then comes together Picture Quote #1

Part of being an actor is being able to contribute to a character’s rhythms. If there’s room to explore, you find a happy medium. We almost always get it as written, and then, we throw some improvs in or some alternatives Picture Quote #1
