These are the young women [in Stand by Me] that we grew up knowing and hopefully they feel a little rough around the edges, because it's true to life.

Fantasy/science-fiction stories have been around almost as long as each genre, but every hybrid now lives in the shadow of 'Star Wars.'

I'm really happiest living life 22 pages at a time and putting things in little boxes on pages.

I'm still digesting the '90s. It takes some time to get perspective.

I have no imagination; I just steal from life and change the color. Then it's a comic book.

It was interesting looking back at the '80s and trying to find newspaper headlines from the time - the cliché of history repeating itself.

There are a lot of differing opinions on that. Some people think you should change out more, but I think changing just 20 percent is less stressful on the aquarium and fish. Once you get used to the regimen, it's pretty easy.
