The point of my explanation is I'm very subjective when it comes to describing my characters: they are all a little bit a part of me from the outside in or the inside out - but to put your mind at ease, I built Paul Snider from the outside in.

And then I bought my own horse, which I had until it died.

But if you love animals for all the right reasons- and that's just love and affection- then you're going to go after animals who need you.

I did have a dog for a few years when I was little, but then just really had cats until I was about 21.

Sometimes movie-making happens like clockwork; other times, like a car accident.

I ride my horses three to four times a week.

My wife and I have so much fun when we travel and find anything... like stray cats and squirrels.
