mean knowing stories
Of course, having information to use is one thing. Knowing what it means and how to use it is a different story.
mean lunch missing
Of course it was a terrible thing, and the world would be a much better place without someone in it who could do that, but did that mean we had to miss lunch?
mean dislike-me kind
I mean, really: what kind of person could possibly dislike me?
real mean thinking
As I've said, freedom is really an illusion. Anytime we think we have a real choice, it just means we haven't seen the shotgun aimed at our navel.
mean firsts breakfast
I know family comes first, but shouldn't that mean after breakfast?
basis civilised necessary pack society
Pretending is the basis of civilised society, and it is sometimes necessary for all of us. Without it we are nothing more than a pack of snarling dogs.
dexter family love
I wanted Dexter to have a family that could love him and understand him.
Dexter-Land is a dark and scary place, and I couldn't live there permanently. To be honest, I don't think I even want to visit.
cheapen good
'Dexter' has been very, very good to me. I would rather stop doing it than cheapen it.
comics creative felt home life marvel relevant wellspring
Marvel Comics has always been a place where I felt at home. It has been a very important part of my life and has always been a wellspring of creative and relevant ideas.
I was expecting someone dark to play 'Dexter' - someone like Johnny Depp.
basic carefully concept hide life monster pretend quietly
We all pretend, we all hide things, so why not take the concept to an extreme? That is the basic idea for the character of Dexter. Pretend to be human, while quietly and carefully living out the life of a monster on the side.
capital eliminate
I don't agree with capital punishment as it is now, because too often mistakes are made. But I think that if you eliminate the mistakes, then there are times when it is justified.
god hardly morning organized
I wish to God I was organized enough to tell you that, 'Yes, there will be 14 books, and this one will go here, and that one will go there'... but to be honest, I hardly know what I'm going to do when I get up in the morning.
