I wanted to drag Shakespeare from obscurity. I've been a fan my whole life.
I never tire of the heroes that I knew growing up.
I can do web, comic books, macrame, art.
I love to write. I love it. I mean there's nothin in the world I like better, and that includes sex, probably because I'm so very bad at it.
I'll always protect what I'm working on. Which is why more and more of it is stuff only I can ruin.
I love all genres. The only thing I get stymied by is the Family Drama. I don't necessarily know how to approach that.
I love a straightforward character. I am the guy who loves Cyclops on the 'X-Men', because he is square.
Obsession is beautiful. It's what makes art.
My favorite part of Comic-Con? The groupies. Man, they have loose morals, really. Men, women, I'm just saying that it gets weird on Sunday night. No, that's sadly never happened.
Take my love, take my land Take me where I cannot stand I don’t care, I’m still free You can’t take the sky from me Take me out to the black Tell them I ain’t comin’ back Burn the land and boil the sea You can’t take the sky from me There’s no place I can be Since I found Serenity But you can’t take the sky from me…
Science fiction is like a blender - you can put in any historical experience and take influences from everything you see, read or experience.
If you can't do something smart, do something right.
You either believe women are people or you don't. It's that simple.
If you have a good idea, get it out there. For every idea I’ve realized, I have ten I sat on for a decade till someone else did it first. Write it. Shoot it. Publish it. Crochet it, sauté it, whatever. MAKE.
