native-american people greek
I have always been interested in mythology and history. The more I read, the more I realized that there have always been people at the edges of history that we know very little about. I wanted to use them in a story and bring them back into the public's consciousness. Similarly with mythology: everyone knows some of the Greek or Roman legends, and maybe some of the Egyptian or Norse stories too, but what about the other great mythologies: the Celtic, Chinese, Native American?

opposites car office
Guess what? I have flaws. What are they? Oh I donno, I sing in the shower? Sometimes I spend too much time volunteering. Occasionally I'll hit somebody with my car. So sue me-- no, don't sue me. That is opposite the point I'm trying to make.

It is St. Patrick's Day. And here in Scranton, that is a huge deal. It is the closest that the Irish will ever get to Christmas.

The best moment is when you walk into a bookstore and see a pile of your books - that is the oddest experience in the world!
lame too-much-information easier
TMI? Too Much Information. It”s just easier to say 'TMI'. I used to say 'don't go there', but that's lame.
artist asking-questions people
Artists want to sell their work, sure. But they aren't out there asking questions about what people want and what they don't want, now are they?
forests idiot
I'm very fast. I'm like Forest Gump, except ... I am not an idiot!
hero journey interesting
A good story is always a journey. It is about taking the journey, the people the hero meets along the way and how they change him or her. All stories are journeys. They don't have to be shocking or outrageous: they simply have to be interesting.
cities people village
Typically, in the cities there can be resistance to the gospel or just to Americans, or anybody that's Western. When you get back into the villages, the people are very welcoming. Then when you get into Muslim areas, it definitely gets a little more difficult.
