The story of 'Lasers' is my story. I didn't have to look too far to get subject matter for this record; it was stuff that was happening to me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm scattered, and then that last hundred pages, bam, I'm a laser.
But certainly the laser proved to be what I realized it was going to be. At that moment in my life I was too ignorant in business law to be able to do it right, and if I did it over again probably the same damn thing would happen.
I'm interested in stories that aren't getting told: it's where my interests lie.
It was strange, in a way, because there were no ideas involved in the laser that weren't already known by somebody 25 years before lasers were discovered. The ideas were all there; just, nobody put it together.
Storytelling is what lights my fire.
The stories I write are often literal to events that have happened or observations that I've made, and sometimes they're fantastical.
The one thing that's closest to my story is the thing about trying out for the juvenile delinquent role and getting it. That was the start of my acting career... which I've resumed, by the way.
It's always the story that interests me.
All stories interest me, and some haunt me until I end up writing them. Certain themes keep coming up: justice, loyalty, violence, death, political and social issues, freedom.
The real technical problems came because people working on the project didn't really follow my proposal at all, but set out to do other things instead of making a laser.
