Maybe I should have taken a few chances. That's not to say I want to go make 'Star Wars', but I need to shift my career into the studio world. That's where my head was at when I thought of the original plot.
I've read plenty of J.G. Ballard, but I'm not really a Ballardian. I've met Ballardians, and I know when I can't compete. I like Ballard in his relatively unchallenging apocalyptic mode: 'Vermilion Sands,' 'The Drowned World,' 'The Burning World,' 'The Crystal World.'

I can't say I follow politics extremely closely, but I'm definitely aware of what's going on in the world.
Our names are an integral part of the faces we show to the world. If we're judged first on outward appearances, we're assessed next on our names.
