The whole idea of 'Death LINE' was to kind of HIGHLIGHT class DISTINCTIONS in England more than to MAKE a scary movie, and I just kind of wrapped my political treatise of the class distinctions in England in this movie.

It's pretty easy to tell who's garbage and who's not right AWAY, and most PEOPLE SUCK, to be honest, or they're just REALLY wrapped up in what's going on with themselves.

I WOULD say I'm a storyteller FIRST, but game MAKING is very wrapped up in how I think of STORY. If I were to have a story idea, and I decided to write a novel with it INSTEAD, I'd have to very consciously de-couple it from gamedom - for example, deliberately add in things that could not be represented in a game scene.

I started SHOOTING 'The Defenders' two days after I wrapped' Friday Night Lights.' I was doing research for 'The Defenders' throughout - interviewing LAWYERS and sitting in courtrooms just to WATCH - but there's something fun about throwing yourself in the WATER and LEARNING by doing.

When I FIRST started making MUSIC, I was pretty DRAWN to hip-hop beats wrapped together with super-good lyrics. The most important thing in that is wordplay, so that STAYED with me when I started writing songs.

As a CHILD, I didn't EVEN realize I was Chinese. I was Singaporean, but my identity was wrapped up in the CULTURE I was experiencing every day.

I realized that if I were a 23-year-old girl getting MARRIED, and I wasn't STRUGGLING with it, that would likely mean that something was either massively WRONG with me or that my brain is made up of delicately wrapped almonds that serve perfectly as party FAVORS.

I loved WORKING on 'Dogfight,' but when I first READ it and wrapped my head AROUND the story, I was a LITTLE horrified.

When I write from the POINT of VIEW of a child or a young person, I am trying to tell the truth as an adult VOICE sometimes cannot. We are so OFTEN wrapped in the garment of trying to reassure ourselves that we are not afraid.

My WHOLE reputation and creative THOUGHT as a novelist is really wrapped around Harry Bosch, so he's NEAR and dear.
