bad few kindle
I try to read a Kindle Single a week, but I'm getting bad at that. I usually have a few books on the go.
blow gun bad-ass
Journalism is just a gun. It’s only got one bullet in it, but if you aim right, that’s all you need. Aim it right, and you can blow a kneecap off the world.
sex book bad-ass
The book is almost always better than the movie. You could have no better case in point than FROM HELL, Alan Moore's best graphic novel to date, brilliantly illustrated by Eddie Campbell. It's hard to describe just how much better the book is. It's like, "If the movie was an episode of Battlestar Galactica with a guest appearance by the Smurfs and everyone spoke Dutch, the graphic novel is Citizen Kane with added sex scenes and music by your favourite ten bands and everyone in the world you ever hated dies at the end." That's how much better it is.
bad-ass joy mirth
What? I bring joy to the world. I am filled with mirth and sunlight. Also, I am Batman.
dream bad-ass ideas
Be authentic to your dreams. Be authentic to your own idea about yourself. Grind away at your own minds and bodies until you become your own invention. Be Mad Scientists.
morning bad-ass government
I grew up in the 80s in England: we'd wake up each morning and look out the window to see if the government had finally put Daleks on the streets.
suicide optimistic bad-ass
By four o'clock, I've discounted suicide in favor of killing everyone else in the entire world instead.
taken bad-ass rivers
I was having a mildly paranoid day, mostly due to the fact that the mad priest lady from over the river had taken to nailing weasels to my front door again.
book complete entire episode finite form individual rather sector terms
When I'm working in finite serials, I always think in terms of the entire book rather than the individual episode because, by far, the vaster sector of the project's lifespan will be in complete book form rather than the singles.
hundred national originally passing series ten thousand union
I was originally going to train as a journalist, passing a series of exams that winnowed ten thousand applicants down to one hundred places on a National Union of Journalists course.
millions
If it's accessible by hundreds of millions of people, then it's as mainstream as it gets.
comics love
Comics is still my first love. But I always did other kinds of writing, too, so I think of myself as a writer first.
situations study towards work
I can be collaborative, for instance, in situations where I go and study the artist's work before I start writing. Then I can at least try to write towards their style.
I live on my phone: I have a bunch of news and informational apps on there.
