I've done many ads because that's my new career. It's an inspiring extension for my mind.

Advertising was only meant to be a very small part of my life. I had intended that I would work extensively in journalism for about five or six years and then I'd become a writer.

I love marketing a lot, and I'm very creative when it comes to developing ideas for shows or publicity campaigns.

I'm obsessed with media and the way audiences can become creative participants.

If I do a certain number of ads, I have to do a personal project in between, just for my own sanity. I still consider myself a punk-rock kid.

I definitely want to be involved but only while I think I can make a contribution and I make a difference.

Advertising is what I do. It's got me everything I have, and I'm not going to leave it.

Now that I'm staring down the barrel of the last act of my life, I'm less excited about control and solo effort, and I resent the way the business aspects interfere with my space for creative writing.

I had been saying to myself for a good many years that I was really a writer and that I was in advertising temporarily.
