'Crime Story' was where I learned that I needed to get to know every crew member: what they did and what their names were and who their families were and whatever things they would give me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People just like a good crime story; they want to know who did it.
Crime stories are, as you know, one of the most popular forms of entertainment that exist. If you then try to have something to say... that I have, of course.
When I work on a film, I always tend to relate to the crew.
I met all these important people and did all these stories, but I always had such excellent producers and assistants. I could show up to interview a world leader or a criminal and they would have things so well prepared anyone could have done it. It wasn't about 'me,' it was about 'us.'
Crime stories show us the part of people's lives they try to keep hidden.
One of the things I've done on my shows is tell stories and do interviews.
I grew up on the crime stuff. Spillane, Chandler, Jim Thompson, and noir movies like Fuller, Orson Welles, Fritz Lang. When I first showed up in New York to write comics back in the late 1970s, I came with a bunch of crime stories but everybody just wanted men in tights.
When I was a general assignment reporter early in my career, I was the one knocking on their door after a tragedy.
My Life in CIA is the first time that I've ever written a story in my own name.
Before 'Veronica Mars,' I was not, and probably am still not, much of a crime reader. My mom left out a copy of 'Helter Skelter' when I was 10, and I secretly read it, and then I spent all my teenage years afraid of hippies. I kept away from crime books for, like, ten years.
