Every experience, good or bad, is a priceless collector's item.
I used to split my time between writing, music and painting. I would work on a book and then abandon it, start a band, do an album, quit music, then do a gallery show. Eventually I decided to give writing a serious shot.
It's rare that I read more than two or three books by any one author; usually only one.
I've always been interested in writing from the perspective of an outsider.
'Warm Bodies' ended up becoming one of the most personal relatable things I've written.
The kind of stuff I usually read is a bit more on the literary side, like books that I think are influential in the sense that they're doing pulpy subject matter in a refined way. Like 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy; I loved that book.
I adapt to things quickly, including good things, which I wish I could shut off sometimes.
Regret is pointless. I never do anything without first deciding to do it based on facts and feelings, and if it doesn't work out how I hoped, oh well - there's another notch on my experience belt.
Sometimes it's a struggle to live in the moment.
My favorite songs change every year.
