I Think Everything I Write Is From

I Never Feel A Huge Need For Backstory In My Novels Or Films. Quick Sketches Are Often Enough. When You Encounter People In Life - Like A Chance Encounter At A Bar Or Wherever You Happen To Be - You Make These Incredibly Quick, Quite Intricate Decisions About People Based On Very Small Amounts Of Coded Information. We're Good At That. Long Descriptions Prior To Meeting Someone Or As You're Getting To Know Them Almost Don't Work.

If You Look At The Whole Life Of The Planet, We - You Know, Man - Has Only Been Around For A Few Blinks Of An Eye. So If The Infection Wipes Us All Out, That Is A Return To Normality.

Waking Was The Most Reliable Part Of A Dream, As Built Into Dreams As Death Is To Life. You Dream, You Wake: You Live, You Die.

Trust Me, It's Paradise. This Is Where The Hungry Come To Feed. For Mine Is A Generation That Circles The Globe And Searches For Something We Haven't Tried Before. So Never Refuse An Invitation, Never Resist The Unfamiliar, Never Fail To Be Polite And Never Outstay The Welcome. Just Keep Your Mind Open And Suck In The Experience. And If It Hurts, You Know What? It's Probably Worth It.

I Don’t Keep A Travel Diary. I Did Keep A Travel Diary Once And It Was A Big Mistake. All I Remember Of That Trip Is What I Bothered To Write Down. Everything Else Slipped Away, As Though My Mind Felt Jilted By My Reliance On Pen And Paper. For Exactly The Same Reason I Don’t Travel With A Camera. My Holiday Becomes The Snapshots And Anything I Forget To Record Is Lost.
