manic

His family says he could be “manic” and “hard to connect with” and, from a few behind-the-scenes clips of Kinkade at promotional events, he seemed to treat his then-small daughters like props for the cameras.

But he’s in such manic distress over the climate crisis that he’s acting crazier than anyone around him.

"In 2007, the manic pixie dream girl was all the rage, and that's all fine and dandy up until your roommate gets murdered, and then you just become an episode of 'Law and Order.'"

But also, I wanted it to feel like the experience of a manic episode, which is what the special is about.

I had entered a kind of demon mode, manically grabbing things off hangers and throwing them on the floor.
