By The Time The Plane Was Airborne

Normally, Small Talk Is Enough For Me To Form An Opinion Of Someone. I Make Quick Judgments, Often Completely Wrong, And Then Stick By Them Rigidly.

The Truth Is, I Hadn't Grown Up Really Wanting To Be A Writer. The Whole Thing Was A Weird Aberration In Some Ways, And I Didn't Feel Personally Connected To The Level Of Success I Had With It - The Success Of Sorts, I Guess.

As For Me... I'm Fine. I Have Bad Dreams, But I Never Saw Mister Duck Again. I Play Video Games. I Smoke A Little Dope. I Got My Thousand-yard Stare. I Carry A Lot Of Scares. I Like The Way That Sounds. I Carry A Lot Of Scares.

Personally I Don't Think There's Any Real Intrinsic Difference Between Comic Books, Movies, Theatre, Novels. I Know There's Sure To Be Some Differences Of Some Sorts. I've Worked On Novels, Films, And Video Games, And In An Adaptation, I Guess One Of The Issues Is That I Have To Be In Love With The Thing I'm Adapting Before I Do It. So That Can Cause A Problem. You Can Be Too Scared Of It. You Could Be Too Reverential. But At The Same Time You Want To Try To Capture This Thing That You're Obsessed By. You're Fixated For A Reason. What's The Reason? You Try To Get Ahold Of It.

The Key Relationship For Writers In Film Is Producers, Because Those Are The First Two People Involved And The Ones Who Work On It Intensely In A Private Way Without The Big Machinery Of Film.
