“The guy was convicted of 34 counts. How do you overplay that?”

Newsom said he didn’t want to overplay the influence of religion on his position on the death penalty, which his father also opposed.

For “I’m Just Ken,” they were careful not to “overplay the humor,” Ronson said, and strike the right balance between irony and sincerity.

“Just keep a good equilibrium. If you don’t play this guy, this guy’s open, if you overplay this guy then this guy’s open. It gives us a variety of options to go through, which is kind of nice to have.”
