U.S. COMPUTER networks and databases are under daily cyber ATTACK by nation STATES, international crime organizations, subnational groups, and INDIVIDUAL hackers.

If you're a JUVENILE delinquent today, you're a hacker. You live in your PARENT's house; they haven't seen you for two months. They PUT FOOD OUTSIDE your door, and you're shutting down a government of a foreign country from your computer.

I've FOUND throughout the YEARS that I needed a PLACE where I can go with no TV, no computer, no PHONE and just have no distractions and just be ABLE to sit and think and just not be disturbed.

I don't WRITE directly on to the COMPUTER because I don't THINK well facing forward with fingers on a keyboard. I think BETTER looking down holding a PEN. And the concentration quotient of pen and paper is higher than when I'm moving words around on screen.

I graduated from college with a 3.92 GPA with a degree in computer programming and a BFA in fine arts and ANIMATION. My FIRST job was PAINTING a MURAL in the Grimaldi's in Queens.

My kids are in front of the COMPUTER 24x7 DESPITE having all the parental control. There is no way to STOP the flow of INFORMATION. The flow of information is too FAST and too much.

My HACKING involved pretty much exploring COMPUTER systems and obtaining access to the source code of telecommunication systems and computer OPERATING systems, because my GOAL was to learn all I can about SECURITY vulnerabilities within these systems.

There was a DAY where I was sitting at my DESK, working 90-hour work weeks, in a suit, looking at a computer, with all these PITCH BOOKS on my desk, and I just THOUGHT, 'This can't be my life.'

I get fed up with plots that are DRIVEN by SOMEONE CONSTANTLY GETTING INFORMATION on a computer.
