People love gentle larceny.

I love to see heroes who fuel some kind of moral furnace inside them, who are driven to take on the evils of the world, despite the fact that the evils of the world are more powerful than them. And essentially can never be defeated, but they refuse to bow down. And in order to enjoy that aspect of the hero, you've got to put them through hell.

Since those who believe they need a hero/celebrity outnumber the actual heroes/celebrities, people feel safe and comfortably justified in numbers, committing egregious crimes in the name of the greater social ego. Ironically diminishing their own true hero-celebrity nature in the process.

I find the idea of vigilante justice very attractive. I like the idea that the murderer decides that this person has gone too far, and nothing will happen to him unless she does something to stop him.

I think that always makes it fun, trying to create a heroic character and putting your own twist on it and injecting your own personality into it.

What is their potential for evil; what is their potential for wickedness? That's the only time that those characters become interesting to watch.

People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest.

I love characters who are clever and smart, and you have to run to catch up with. I think there's something very appealing and rather heroic in that.

You sparkle with larceny.
