Normally, Small Talk Is Enough For Me

Trust Me, It's Paradise. This Is Where The Hungry Come To Feed. For Mine Is A Generation That Circles The Globe And Searches For Something We Haven't Tried Before. So Never Refuse An Invitation, Never Resist The Unfamiliar, Never Fail To Be Polite And Never Outstay The Welcome. Just Keep Your Mind Open And Suck In The Experience. And If It Hurts, You Know What? It's Probably Worth It.

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.

The Success That Comes From My Books Is Not Something I Feel Very Comfortable With. Past A Certain Point You Have To Accept The Idea That The Success Is A Lot To Do With The Timing And Luck And That Divorces You From It Massively. There Are Aspects Of It That I Haven't Got Used To At All. But I've Enjoyed Some Parts Of It Massively. It Relates To The Same Reason I Did A Lot Of Backpacking — Partly For The Experience — It's Something To Tell My Grandkids. It's A Weird Chain Of Events To Have In Your Life.

I Used To Think About Video Games, "this Is Clearly An Amazing, New Narrative Medium, And It's Going To Be Mind-blowing When People Get To Grips With What's Possible Within This Medium." It Took Us A Century To Get Really Good At Film. Video Games Are At A Much Earlier Stage.

There's One Massive Problem With Coming From Writing Novels Into Screenplays That I've Discovered Over The Years, Which Is That You've Got Too Much Facility On The Page. In Novels, You Can Persuade People Of Things That Work That Don't Really Work.
