I've always been a big fan of Stephen King, especially in my teenage years.

It's like my second home, 'It.' And I would like to return to it, because I feel very comfortable with it, and I have an understanding of it, and I'm passionate about it.

A movie is very different when you're writing the script and you're building a story compared to what the final product is.

At the beginning when you're writing and building the beats of the story, everything that you put in there seems very essential to the story. However, when you have the movie finally edited and it's 4 four hours long, you realise that some of the events and some of the beats can be easily lifted but the essence of the story remains intact.

I was a poor kid. I grew up watching film and television but primarily television. And I graduated high school, and I knew I wanted to go to college because nobody in my family had. So I was like, 'I'll go and be a theater major.'

In high school, I wanted to be an actress. Until I got to college and took some creative writing courses. Then I decided I wanted to become a novelist.

The funny thing is, the music that I'm writing now is probably some of the most cutting edge we've ever done. The music that I'm thinking about putting on our next album.

One must be an inventor to read well. There is then creative reading as well as creative writing.
