Sometimes I cheat and buy things I used to make from scratch and just doctor them up.

My stories are character driven.

I've got tons of irreplaceable information inside the soul of this computer.

I would like to think that as a result of not just my own experiences, but at least being empathetic and compassionate about other people's experiences and plights and tragedies, that I am affected by it and learn from it.

You know, one of my fears about living alone so long is that you get used to doing everything your own way.

I don't let negative criticism, for the most part, bother me.

Parents can ruin children, and sometimes that's a learned behavior. Sometimes you can't blame your parents for it, sometimes you can. I think to me, that's what the whole paradox is, is people that have children that don't even know how to raise them.
