I FIND that using REAL people as models KEEPS me from GETTING too formulaic in the designs of characters.

Only a crazy person wouldn't fear approaching a CAR with tinted windows during a late-night car stop, or pounding up a flight of stairs to EXECUTE a search warrant, or fast-roping from a helicopter down into hostile fire. REAL agents, LIKE real people, feel that fear in the pit of their stomachs.

I'm gonna open a small restaurant on the beach in Mexico. We're only gonna have a few tables, and we're only gonna cook what's fresh that DAY. We're gonna GET back to the basics... Real FOOD for real people.

With WesTrac, you have real people doing real JOBS with real problems and real OPPORTUNITIES, and you touch the metal, and it's LIKE being GROUNDED.

Journalists know other journalists - that's the only reason my engagement made it into the papers. I don't THINK REAL PEOPLE are interested - just the MEDIA, just Twitter!

That, to me, is the core of fantasy - real people in a crazy ENVIRONMENT, dealing with crazy PROBLEMS. That's what I think the books of 'The Witcher' did really well, and it's what ATTRACTED me to them, in the FIRST place.

My friends were the CLASS clowns, but I was the one in class doing Michael Jordan or TEACHERS for no reason. I've ALWAYS been AMAZING at impersonating real PEOPLE, too, rather than celebrities.

The IDENTITY of Studio Ghibli MOVIES are how the characters MOVE. They move LIKE live, REAL people.
