I do see myself as someone who has a lot of story ideas.

I just grew up watching a lot of movies. I'm attracted to this genre and that genre, this type of story, and that type of story. As I watch movies I make some version of it in my head that isn't quite what I'm seeing - taking the things I like and mixing them with stuff I've never seen before.

I take stuff from real life and try to make a character out of it. And I try to live the world of the characters a little bit.

Most of my story ideas come from my childhood. Sometimes they hatch from stories my parents told me, sometimes they come from experiences in my own life, and sometimes they are inspired by mere moments.

I get inspiration from literally everything and anything. I take inspiration from people, relationships, stories, and I take inspiration from movies I see, books I read and songs I hear.

Whenever I write, I try and approach my stories from some kind of universal theme or idea or emotion.

I actually feel that the different kinds of stories come out of different parts of my brain.

Basically, I just write whatever story grabs me rather than considering the genre.

I think I take little pieces of inspiration, then kind of do what's real to me and what's going on in my life or what I observe from other people's experiences and hope other people connect with it, too.
