'I was a very depressed young man who had this fantasy of a dream girl coming along and saving me from myself,' he said of the 'Manic Pixie Dream Girl' criticism surrounding Natalie Portman's character (via toofab)
The Manic Pixie Dream Girl is exactly like it sounds, a storytelling device that according to Nathan Rabin, who coined the term, is a female character that"exists solely in the fevered imaginations of sensitive writer-directors to teach broodingly soulful young men to embrace life and its infinite mysteries and adventures." The MPDG does not have an arc of their own, they exist solely to serve the story of the male characters.
"Of course I've heard and respect the criticism, but… I was a very depressed young man who had this fantasy of a dream girl coming along and saving me from myself," he continued."And so I wrote that character." "I knew I was battling something. That's what writing 'Garden State' was about. I wasn't as extreme as Andy, but I was certainly battling my own demons," Braff explained."As I was writing it, I was hoping I could survive what became known as the quarter-life crisis, and depression, and fantasizing that the perfect woman would come along and rescue me."
