"Aaron is a very passionate, maniacal writer so the scripts really come from him, but he is very open to... y'know, we'll plan ideas and we'll certainly tussle about stuff when the script comes out. So, to a certain extent, he's very interested. If there's some problem or something that doesn't ring true, he wants to know why and he wants to correct it or fight for it"

Bradley Whitford’s words paint a vivid picture of Aaron as a writer consumed by his craft, describing him as both passionate and maniacal. This characterization suggests a creator driven not just by skill or professionalism, but by a fervor that borders on obsession. The use of “maniacal” doesn’t carry the sense of instability, but rather hints at a relentless energy and zeal for storytelling, someone who pours intense focus and emotion into every script.

Despite Aaron’s commanding presence as the origin point of each script, “the scripts really come from him”, Whitford also observes an essential openness in Aaron’s creative process. The development isn’t a solitary act locked away from others, but something collaborative. There is room for others to contribute: ideas are not only welcomed, but “plan[ned]” in advance. Conflict isn’t shunned; it’s embraced as “tussle about stuff” when the script emerges, meaning that creative disagreements and debates are considered natural, perhaps even vital, to refining the work.

Aaron’s interaction with feedback is especially telling. He demonstrates an appetite for authenticity and quality, evidenced by his curiosity and concern if “something doesn’t ring true.” He wants to know why if something doesn’t work for the actors or the team, showing a respect for their perspectives. This openness does not mean he concedes without argument; he is prepared either to amend the script, “wants to correct it”, or, if he truly believes in his vision, to “fight for it.” This signals an artist confident enough to defend his choices with rigor, but humble enough to listen and improve when necessary. The balance of passion, control, and openness described here provides insight into the collaborative dynamic and mutual respect underpinning the creative environment on Aaron’s projects.
