I kind of hate over-explanation in comics.
I've always been the king of silence. I've always been a minimalist comedian. I've taken my influence from Jack Benny, who was the king of that... I've always done 'less is more.'
With my characters, I prefer to not say too much, and in fact, I tend to cut down some of the lines in most scripts I get.
Basically, less is more when it comes to film.
I checked my phone messages. Three in all. The first was from Joe. “Hey, Cupcake.” That was it. That was the whole message. The second was from Ranger. “Yo.” Ranger made Joe look like a chatterbox.
He spoke in telegram-as if every word he used cost five bucks, and he only had a twenty in his wallet.
I think 'Tron' is a good example of minimalism.
In a Western, you talk more with your eyes and your actions than you do with big speeches. I love that.
