It's very dangerous for a storyteller to walk into a situation with a political agenda because you end up telling a story about issues instead of telling a story about people.

It's always interesting to me to tell stories that come from difficult political climates.

I love political dramas. I love good story-telling.

Political audiences are not fun.

You find most of the interesting stories are the ones that are slightly harder to get made.

Real politics is messy and morally ambiguous and doesn't make for a compelling thriller.

I never think that anything I'm writing is bluntly political in any way. I'm not going for commentary.

I felt like challenging myself and challenging my readers with something darker and heavier. I don't know how to explain it, because I'm not a political person. I have two political stories, and that's it: 'Human Diastrophism' and 'Poison River.'

The mainstream media spins stories that are largely racist, violent, and irresponsible - stories that celebrate power and demonize victims, all the while camouflaging its pedagogical influence under the cheap veneer of entertainment.
