I am interested in imperfections, quirkiness, insanity, unpredictability. That's what we really pay attention to anyway. We don't talk about planes flying; we talk about them crashing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't want to go out hunting for dismal topics to write about.
I'm curious about everything. Even subjects that don't interest me.
What interests me are the complexities and contradictions and struggles and joys of messy human beings.
The stuff that I find really intriguing is always how do ordinary people behave in extraordinary circumstances. And that's why we have a lot of cop shows and lawyer shows and medical shows is that you're looking for situations that just always heighten the stakes.
I'm very phobic about flying, but I'm also drawn to it.
I don't think perfect is interesting. I think what makes life exciting is the imperfections.
I've spent an awful lot of my time in the air. I've had everything happen to me in a plane that could happen. Except a crash.
My own way of thinking is very conservative, very linear and not particularly imaginative, but if I look for things in different places, sometimes things happen.
I don't know about you, but I find it exhilarating to see how vague psychological notions evaporate and give rise to a physical, mechanistic understanding of the mind, even if it's the mind of the fly.
Like, to do a pilot, you don't know what's going to happen with it.
