'Star Wars' or 'The Lord of the Rings' deal with great big Joseph Campbell-style myths, good and evil.

I'm always drawn to the underdogs, to the people whose stories don't get told.

I'm a fan of great storytelling.

As a kid, I was obsessed with myths and legends and the haunting beauty of gothic stories.

All my stories are like the Greek and Roman myths, and the Egyptian myths, and the Old and New Testament.

I've always been a big fan of science fiction and of the worlds of the spiritual and the mystic.

I am attracted to myths.

I like mythology - anything historical.

I'm fascinated by almost any mythology that I can get my hands on.

I stick closely to the structure of the myths. I may have some fun with the mythology by changing the environment to modern-day, but the structure of the myths, the monsters, the relationships of the gods - none of that is made up.
