growing muscles partly respect
'Metals' has partly been about me regaining my self respect and I feel like I'm growing the muscles I want to grow again.
chatter figured louder people playing slowly whose
Something that I think I figured out slowly was if you're playing a show and there's a chatter or there is, you know, a lot of noise - people talking or something - I was never the one whose instinct was to try to be louder than them.
brutally leaking therapy worth
I need therapy after writing. It's like leaking blood from a stone. It's brutally difficult but worth it.
childlike country fact ignore love posters promoting
After 'Sesame Street,' it's a hyper-familiar world to me and I have this childlike ability to ignore the fact that I'm talking to scraps of cloth. Every country I go to, I see posters promoting the film in different languages. 'Los Muppets' - I love that!

american-author certain charm due duplicate earlier hard magician mostly risky
Also, it's risky to try to duplicate earlier success. Magician had a certain charm to it, mostly due to my choice of lead characters, that I would be hard put to duplicate.
american-author downhill hit people
There's always going to be comparisons, and that's unavoidable. There are people out there who feel I hit my peak with Magician and have gone downhill since.
certain choose fashion mostly people view
Mostly I'm writing about people, so I feel constrained to take with me my view of people, my curiosity about how people choose the things they do and why they come to certain decisions in a certain fashion and all the things that drive most writers.
ray sat
As a kid, I sat transfixed watching Ray Harryhausen's '7th Voyage of Sinbad.'
