I think I am someone who is very interested in structure and different ways of delivering jokes.

I don't want the government to be censoring people, I don't think there should be censoring boards, but I think that means that we the artists need to be very careful about what we're putting out and what were saying and how we're saying it. And I don't think we're being as careful as we should be.

Raphael Bob-Waksberg

The best stuff is done by people who love it, whether that's high art or low art, whatever that is.

Look, anything any writer writes is going to be on some level autobiographical. Part of the funny/sad thing is that you don't always know how autobiographical you're being.

Raphael Bob-Waksberg

I always think that's really lazy, when I'm watching a TV show or a movie or something, and there's a flashback and the idea is, 'This one moment is the reason that everything happened. This character saw this guy, and this guy said this thing to him, and that's why he is this way.' Because I think in real life, it's not so one-to-one.

I think there's something very valid about having feelings that you can't articulate. I don't think you should shut those feelings out, but I also want to be able to communicate them.

Raphael Bob-Waksberg

I do not want to have feelings that are just for me that I cannot express to other people. That frustrates me.

Raphael Bob-Waksberg

You need to know that you cannot control your feelings, and you cannot control your feelings about your feelings, but, as best as you can, intellectually understand that your feelings are valid and they're okay and don't try to stifle them or feel shame about them.

Raphael Bob-Waksberg

I think some actors are very smart and have the tools. They know how to disconnect themselves from the characters, but I think for a lot of them, it's very difficult.

Raphael Bob-Waksberg

I kind of want to take the writer down a peg. I think there are a lot of pretentious writers in this business, which I am certainly one, in certain cases.

Raphael Bob-Waksberg

It's something I've seen a lot of: these tortured geniuses, or self-proclaimed tortured geniuses, who kind of take their damage out on others. I think being a showrunner, you have a lot of unchecked power and I think that can be a very dangerous thing.

Raphael Bob-Waksberg

Any show that kind of relish the damage of its main character without really investigating what that damage does, where it's from or what it means, is a show I think needs to be taken down a peg.

Raphael Bob-Waksberg

The nature of being an artist in any field, but specifically in comedy, is that almost as soon as you finish something you hate it, and it feels dated, and not your best work.

Raphael Bob-Waksberg

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

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

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

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.

Raphael Bob-Waksberg

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

Who Framed Roger Rabbit' is one of my favorite movies of all time, and in fact it is maybe the first movie that I really loved in an adult way.

Raphael Bob-Waksberg

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.
