I don't think there was a definite day, but it WOULD have been around my mid-20s. I was always interested in the MEDIA side of things. When we travelled with ENGLAND AWAY, or to WORLD Cups, I used to sit with journos while they wrote their copy.

No one likes to WORK for free. To copy an artist's work and download it free is stealing. It's hard work WRITING and recording MUSIC, and it's morally wrong to STEAL it.

I had a COUPLE of really cool friends when I was a kid, and we'd find cool music and movies and show them to each other. My FRIEND Dennis had a COPY of 'A Clockwork Orange' and he'd already seen it once, and he was LIKE, 'We need to watch this.' I was sleeping over his house - and I think we were literally 15 - and we WATCHED it.

It's one thing to buy a COPY of 'Atlas Shrugged.' You actually have to READ it to get anything out of it.

At the school I attended, the clergyman who ran the cathedral school in Shanghai would give lines to the BOYS as a punishment. They EXPECTED you to copy out, say, 20 or 30 pages from one of the school texts. But I FOUND that rather than laboriously copying out SOMETHING from a novel by Charles Dickens, it was EASIER if I made it up myself.

If you COPY then it is not SELF-EXPRESSION.

I would SAY the MAIN thing is, don't just copy yourself, which is what a lot of sequels do. And in some CASES, it works. Like James Bond movies. But James Bond is a different TYPE of character.
