Quote

Maybe a theme that touches all of my work is people reinventing themselves.

I've always been attracted to themes of isolation in my work - in my independent work and my DC work.

What I like in novels that I read and enjoy is interplay of theme: the mystery of how we seem to be so separate as human beings.

As an improviser, my nature is to take a theme and constantly rework it.

If there's one theme in all my work, it's about authenticity and self-expression. It's the idea that some things are, in some real sense, really you - or express what you and others aren't.

Themes recur again and again in my work.

I don't consciously go out looking for themes. They attach themselves to me.

Straight-away the ideas flow in upon me, directly from God, and not only do I see distinct themes in my mind's eye, but they are clothed in the right forms, harmonies, and orchestration.

I don't want to deal with big, grand themes in my stories; art has nothing to do with themes. When you deal with themes, you are not creating; you are lecturing.

I always try and come up with a clear theme when I'm making a videogame.
