The world is a disaster, so it's nice to be able to lose yourself in a fun story about things that are beyond our comprehension.

Let's not kid ourselves here, robots already run most of our world. We'll be their butlers soon enough.

It seems I have a hard time being attracted to someone unless I respect what they do on some level. Otherwise, I would feel disdain for them. Which is not always pleasant in a relationship. Sometimes it's fun though.

Taxing less and spending more... it's fun in the short run, but it's a recipe for disaster

It just seems to me that the world's kind of a mess, and the more messy it gets, the more interested I am in escapist fare. Having a good time is something that isn't about the war in Iraq or the Asian flu or the Kyoto protocol - things that are horribly depressing to consider in our real lives. I'm eager to get away from them.

I did a film called 'Fort McCoy,' based on a true story of one of the few internment camps during WWII that was actually in the United States.
