I’m a film buff and I was keen to find out about the response to Daniel Craig’s 007. ‘Empire’ and ‘Hot Dog’ had great reviews, and finally he’s been accepted as the new Bond. So many millions go into that franchise that if you make a mistake, it’s awful.

I think Twitter is such a cool thing because it really is a direct line to the fans and for fans back to you, and it’s such a new thing. I think in the past there’s been usually fan mail and that’s really good, but Twitter, it gets an immediate response.
I’m not sure if my story will become a movie. Some of my western friends sent my story to people they know in the movie industry. But one consistent response was there aren’t any main western characters in my story, so it’s unlikely to be made into a movie in English.

I have lived by one crucial principle since I was 24 years old. I don’t blame or complain about things like the economy, the government, taxes, employees, gas prices, or any of the external things that I don’t have control over. The only thing I have control over is my response to these things.

The ‘Dead’ films allow me to talk about things that a drama, say, won’t. ‘Dawn Of The Dead,’ which was set in a shopping mall, is on one level about consumerism; ‘Land Of The Dead’ is a response to Bush.

I’ve often wondered if the trade-off for growing up in the relative newness and freshness of the West Coast was befuddlement when it comes to historical preservation.

We’ve got to understand that the ages of zero to three are the most formative years of a person’s life, the time they learn the concept of reward and punishment and develop a conscience, and that 50 percent of all learned human response is learned in the first year of life.
