So Far, At Least, I Haven't Found A Way To Tell My Kind Of Stories Without Making Them Both Sad And Funny.

I Admit There’s An Element Of Brutality In All My Work - It’s Part Of The Truth About Human Existence I Always Want To Explore - But The Last Thing I’m Trying To Do Is Put On Some Kind Of Freak Show, Inviting People To Get Off On Other People’s Pain And Humiliation.
