I'm not trying to be coy or manipulative or Machiavellian, I want to spark people's imaginations.

I want every day to be life for the living, not just traipsing through it existing. I'm just interested in life and the world and exploring.

Every novel presents a slice of life. A noir policier for example presents one slice, one that perhaps addresses social dysfunction or some sort of pathology, while mine present a slice that is more upbeat and affirmative.

You will obtain a vision of matter that is perhaps fatiguing for your imagination, but pure and stripped of what the requirements of life make you add to it in external perception.

I'm not interested in an imaginary world.

What I really want out of life is to discover something new: something mankind didn't know was possible to do.

I intend to live life, not just exist.

There aren't a whole lot of things I want out of life. My bucket list is extremely short: Achieve the success in the industry I want, and get married. If I achieve both of those, I can die completely stoked. I don't need anything else.

Imagination - that's the future for us.
