“Things seem to be at a boiling point all the time. In fact, it has been that way my whole life. I find it interesting, and I like the fact that the emotions are in your face all the time.

“In my early teens, I read every bound volume of the magazine Punch. Every writer of any distinction in the English language, and I mean including America and England, at some time wrote for Punch. Jerome K. Jerome, who wrote Three Men In A Boat, I loved. I was very impressed when I read a piece by Mark Twain in Punch, and realized that despite the fact that they were on different continents, Jerome K. Jerome and Mark Twain had the same kind of laconic, laid-back, "The human race is damn stupid, but quite interesting" attitude. They were almost talking with the same voice.” MenHumansKindMeanDifferentFactsAmericaThreeLanguageVoiceInterestingRaceAttitudeTalkingPiecesStupidMarkEnglandBoundsIncludingDespiteBoatMagazinesDamnHuman RaceDistinctionTeensContinentsVolumeImpressedEnglish LanguageLaid BackLaconic Author:Terry Pratchett
“Some of the old folk singers used to phrase things in an interesting way, and then, I got my style from seeing a lot of outdoor-type poets, who would recite their poetry.

“Whenever possible, I like to have the supreme head of a company show me over the works.

“In cyberspace, we get many fewer cues about the emotional states and attitudes of the people we're talking to.

“There's the instability of my attitude as an artist, the instability of our perception of the world, and the idea that with this mix, you never know exactly what's the point of view of the filmmaker.

“My grandfather was a man, when he talked about freedom, his attitude was really interesting. His view was that you had obligations or you had responsibilities, and when you fulfilled those obligations or responsibilities, that then gave you the liberty to do other things.
