But it is a delightful challenge to try to depict interesting aliens.

I find humans tremendously interesting.

One of the rules I try to follow is that normal people are going to be involved even in heroic events.

I don't know how to depict intelligence.

I beat the crap out of the guy. It was delightful.

If I'm daring at all, I guess it would be emotionally. I try to keep things interesting for myself and to do things that challenge me.
