Summary
Sarah often tells interviewers that Ira's true genius is in editing, picking apart stories and putting them back together in the most compelling way possible; the part she leaves out is that he'll first indulge every single idea that you have, playing devil's advocate for every whim or tangential interest just so that you check it out. Then once you have a semblance of a story, that's when he'll tear it apart.
