I was a very scared child.

I had been going out to Orient for several years.

People aren't doing whodunits anymore.

In a lot of ways, work was my graduate school.

I also wonder why is it that so many of the movies and books that are detective stories are also the most aesthetically interesting? From Hollywood noirs to horror movies like The Shining [1980].

I don't think secrets are a bad thing. I think there's this idea that everything needs to be transparent in order for it to be free.

I definitely don't take any of intrusions in my private life personally. You learn how to have a sense of humor pretty quickly. I honestly don't keep up on it unless it's something that would hurt someone else. I can take care of myself, that's not the problem. But it's just not fair to bring anyone else into the picture.
