I think there's something inherently dishonest in trying to go back and mess with the past.

I consider myself the luckiest man in the world. I have spent a lifetime doing what I love.

I'm still a fanboy geek. I always will be. In many ways, if my work still resonates with the audience, it's because I'm still writing from the point of view of the fan, so I'm geeked out constantly.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.
