believe punishment long
I believe in something. But I don't believe that anything can hold a grudge for long enough to condemn its creation to eternal punishment. Nobody can hold a grudge that long, even God.
book writing competition
If anything I try to write something that would be more difficult to film. I tend to see film as competition and would like instead to do what books do best.
Nobody's told me anything to date that I've been completely reviled by.
airplane talking people
It takes a lot to get people talking in airplanes. But once they start talking, you just can't shut them up.
ideas people inventory
I don't do much more than organise other people's ideas and insights and thoughts, and sort of harvest them, and inventory them and present them.

The world of American politics is more contentious than it has ever been in my lifetime.

quality stuff amy
If you take my stuff apart, you'll find my choruses of repetitions are picked up almost verbatim from Kurt Vonnegut, and my distanced fracture quality is all from Amy Hempel, who's probably my favourite writer.
