I am constantly re-evaluating my goals and trying to strike items from my to-do list that aren't critical.

People challenge my nerd cred all the time. I just show them the photo of me winning my middle-school science fair, wearing my Casio calculator watch and eyeglasses so big they look like they can see the future.

I can't say that there's been some big change during my career where all of a sudden everything's totally colorblind.

I'd be plenty happy if I could keep playing scientists and cops for the rest of my career.

Every single path is so different, but I would definitely say that the idea of what a writer is or should be is not a thing anymore. Everyone is redefining publishing, writing, and storytelling in general.

If the history of the western moral imagination is the story of an enduring and unending revolt against human cruelty, there are few more consequential figures than Raphael Lemkin - and few whose achievements have been more ignored by the general public. It was he who coined the word 'genocide.' He was also its victim.

I would love to write a script, for sure. I write poetry and songs. But writing a script needs a lot of time and discipline.

Usually, I create tunes that are fragmented. I think the biggest obstacle for people with their creativity is that they feel they have to sit down and create this finished, polished product.
