![]() And I had to fight so hard to feel like my opinion mattered and that I had something to offer and my wisdom was worth listening to. ![]() I think it’s because I struggled so much to believe in my own intuition in my life. Yeah, I think it’s something that I am unabashedly passionate about, that kind of speaking to young people and young women in particular. It’s just very satisfying to watch someone have to figure it out and be scrappy and think on their feet and make it work.įor those of us who’ve read your book (2015’s “Sounds Like Me: My Life So Far in Song”), some of the spirit of that memoir feels like it is in this series - like, explicitly or just implicitly, a younger viewer might sense she’s getting some older-sisterly advice from it. Bess is sort of tasting independence for the first time, and I love that part of a young artist’s life, because so many things can go wrong. But really kind of right to that time in a young person’s life where they’re finding their way for the first time as an artist and as a person. So it was a super no-brainer to just kind of combine these into (a story about) the life of a young songwriter, inspired loosely by the experiences in my life. And Jessie and I had just finished creating “Waitress” together, and Jessie was working on a songwriter project at that time. (The original feature film version of “Waitress” starred the actress.) It became really organic to imagine the world of a young songwriter. Apparently everything I do has to have starred Keri Russell at some point in time. And the first thing that popped into my head, sort of instinctually, was one of his early shows, “Felicity” - also starring Keri Russell. We sat down and he brought up the idea of working in television, which I hadn’t considered. I met JJ (Abrams) at an event, and he invited me to come have a meeting at Bad Robot’s production offices in Santa Monica. Can you talk about the germination of it as an idea, and how much of the idea was Jessie Nelson’s and how much was yours, right at the outset? And this isn’t even a particularly big show in the world of big TV shows. So when we got to our last day of shooting, there was such a sense of gratification because it takes such an army to create something on this scale. So it was just like one challenge after another. So there was just a lot of physicality and logistical and… oh my God, everything that could’ve gone wrong went wrong. Because so much of what we shot was on location (in Manhattan), too. You have to have a lot of material, a lot of storyline and a lot of music, and there are so many moving parts, and the logistics are so challenging with television. With television, the thing I was not used to is the pace and the voracious appetite of the show as a whole. When I was making “Waitress,” I was like, “This is the hardest thing I’ve ever done.” And now that I’ve done this, I’m like, “ This is the hardest thing I’ve ever done.” Every new thing I do, I feel like I am schooled all over again. Is doing TV a little easier than that long and tortuous process, at least?īAREILLES: Oh my God. ![]() ![]() In the case of a mixed order, you still do not pay shipping charges for qualifying items when they are shipped via ground delivery however, you are responsible for paying shipping charges for non-qualifying items in a mixed order.VARIETY: This show has been in the works for at least a couple years, but maybe it seemed easier after you’d spent so many years mounting a Broadway show.
