I'm not, by nature, a collaborator. My biggest influences were people like painters and poets. These are solitary workers.
Creatively, most of my influences come from the literary world: Alice Walker, Toni Cade Bambara. Writers are my heroes.
I like it in Manchester. I thought it was going to be much colder, but it is not too bad. And my wife and son are happy here, too.
If you don't care about science enough to be interested in it on its own, you shouldn't try to write hard science fiction. You can write like Ray Bradbury and Harlan Ellison as much as you want.
If I like the story and it's well written, and it's a character I want to play and they'll pay me, then I decide to do it.
I started out life as a writer, and writers write in part because they don't want to talk.
Willie Nelson, Marty Robbins, Merle Haggard and Keith Whitley - guys like that were huge influences.
The picture alone, without the written word, leaves half the story untold.
I think that like all writers - and if any writer disagrees with this, then he is not a writer - I write primarily for myself.
