I'm a huge fan of ghost stories, that sort of slow build, the suspense and the questioning about whether you're imagining something or if it's real.

I would have done anything to feel real again.

I can't think of anything more crushing than slowly, over time, realizing exactly how wrong you were about someone.

Love makes you want to be a better man. But maybe love, real love, also gives you permission to just be the man you are.

Dark sides are important. They should be nurtured like nasty black orchids.

We're into this barrage of pop culture - you know, TV, movies, the Internet. We become creatures that we've made up, made of certain different flotsam from pop culture and certain different personas that are in style.
