I like the fact you can spend two hours setting up a scene that will only last a couple of seconds. And I like just sitting around and dozing between scenes!

I still draw a lot though. Ballpoint pen is my preferred medium.

I like the outdoors and the natural world. Environmental issues.

Technology is making design more exciting, with color, wallpaper, textures, fabrics that could never have been created without the technology.

I don't know of an actor that the Coen brothers would come to and say, "Hey, I've got a movie for you to be in, if you want to do it," that would say, "No." That's the truth.

A man kept his character even when he was insane.

There's nothing worse than a violent beating from an unremarkable person. Physical violence with someone is too much like shagging them. Too much id involved.

There are many different ways that people get licensed or ordained through different ministries, denominations, etc. So - but for myself, there was no formal seminary.

We believe. We believe in our destiny as a nation. We believe we have been called to do good, to spread the blessings of liberty and encourage the sense of trust upon which free societies depend.
