The Comeback’ is so cringey and difficult, but watching it, what I was really struck with was the kindness and the generosity. Raphael Bob-Waksberg Read Quote
Whenever I talk about how good season two of ‘The Comeback’ is, people ask, ‘Do I have to see season one?’ And I say, ‘You get to see season one.’ Raphael Bob-Waksberg Read Quote
What I also love about Lorrie Moore stories is they take me a long time to read. They’re not easy for me because each sentence, I feel like, is so rich and dense, it just sends me off in a thousand directions. Raphael Bob-Waksberg Read Quote
I had behavioral problems. I didn’t always feel like I fit in. Which is somewhat universal. I don’t want to imply that I was like some super out-there kid. Raphael Bob-Waksberg Read Quote
BoJack’ is a very much a format-based show. The story should always match the format, but I don’t necessarily think the story has to come first. Raphael Bob-Waksberg Read Quote
I’d like to think that ‘Bojack,’ in some ways, pushes the edges of what some people think an adult animated show can be. That was an intention of mine while making the show. Raphael Bob-Waksberg Read Quote
In ‘Bojack,’ at least at first, we had to couch some of the sadder or weirder or introspective stuff we were doing in the costume of a typical adult animated comedy. With ‘Undone,’ it felt like we’d outgrown that expectation. Raphael Bob-Waksberg Read Quote
I’m mostly interested in characters and how they manifest themselves in their relationships. I’m delighted that people relate to the characters in ‘Bojack,’ and hopefully they will too to the characters in ‘Undone.’ If they understand themselves or feel seen in a new way, I think that’s a wonderful thing.

There’s a widening of an idea of what a TV show can be or how it can be told, and that’s partially in the diversity of the creators and the stories. Because there are so many new networks and streaming services popping up every day that need more content, there are more opportunities to take risks. Raphael Bob-Waksberg Read Quote
