It was the dawn of the third age of mankind.

I've written for every medium except poetry, at which I suck.

A story is a story is a story. The only difference is in the techniques you bring to bear. There are always limitations on what you can and can't do. But I enjoy that. Just like when you write a sonnet or haiku, there are rules you have to abide by. And to me, playing within the rules is the fun part. It keeps the brain fresh.

Budget grows out of the story. If you're writing a story with people caught in an elevator for most of the film, you're pretty sure it won't be a $200 million movie.

I'm a big believer in the idea that while we are the sum of our tears, we are also the product of our choices in how we deal with those tears.

I sometimes find reality far more fantastical and unlikely than what I could just make up.

I grew up on comics and cartoons. So, as an adult, I like comics and cartoons.
