I like dark subject matter. I'm not sure what that means about me!

When I hit a block, regardless of what I am writing, what the subject matter is, or what's going on in the plot, I go back and I read Pablo Neruda's poetry. I don't actually speak Spanish, so I read it translation. But I always go back to Neruda. I don't know why, but it calms me, calms my brain.

A woman is subject matter enough.

Since I was a kid, I've had this morbid fascination with dark and scary subject matter.

The shows you can do in cable are just more buzzworthy and are about subject matter that's more unusual or dark. And broadcast shows tend to be more mainstream or middle-of-the-road.

My operas usually come from musical ideas rather than ideas about subject matter.
