I thought we were making a nice little movie. That’s how it was regarded by everyone else, too.
I see things differently, feel things differently. That’s how I’ve always been, and that’s why I’m different to everyone else. Information: simple. Detail: simple. I just aim to play as if it was five-a-side as an 11-year-old kid. That’s how I see it because that’s how it is.
I started off like everyone else does, slogging but having a compulsion to put words on paper. I didn’t write or read horror or fantasy, other than children’s fantasy, until I was in my teens.
There is no doubt that online shopping has fed the craze for speed, because when you can’t touch the fabric or try on the outfit, the only emotion you experience is the excitement of the purchase and the thrill of beating everyone else to it.
It sounds precocious, but I knew that I had to listen to my own inner voice and ignore what everyone else was saying, even my mum.
Most comics point out what everyone else is thinking but hadn’t thought of verbalizing. I guess, in a way, that makes most comics seers. It just depends in what category – some choose to be the seers of relationships, some are seers of racial issues, and some are seers of political issues.
True humility is expressed in deeds, not words. The humble are those who truly walk the same ground as everyone else – not necessarily with grovelling, hunched backs, but certainly not lording it over others, either.
Contract year isn’t what everyone else talks about. For a player, it’s just another year in the league.
Once I thought that if I just had enough in the bank, if I had enough fame, that it would be all right. But I’m a human being like everyone else. I’m not exempt.
