Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once and it's too much. My heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst.

You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure.

The idea of celibate vampires is ridiculous. To me, vampires are sex. I don't get a vampire story about abstinence. I don't care about high school students. I find them irritating and uninformed.

Most of us live in artificial environments and then we go to work in artificial environments and the world becomes something that you see through a window.

Obviously death is a theme I'm fascinated by.

There is a fetishization of victimization in our culture. And I just am not interested in victimhood.

I know a lot of shows are like, 'Here's the pages,' right before they start filming. I'd have a heart attack. The anxiety would be way too much for me. I don't have as strong a backbone as those other show writers.
