Appreciation and Discussion With The Curiosity Project

Big questions about creative work, relationships, and appreciation in an interview I did with Tess Curious at The Curiosity Project podcast:

• What are the three things you value most in life?
• Tell me a memory that shaped you.
• Tell me in as much detail as you can about something that once existed, but now does not.
• What, if anything, is perfect?
• What do you suck at?
• What are you great at?
• Do you say “I love you” too much or too little?
• If you could name a hot sauce, what would you call it and why?
• What are you most proud of?
• How do you deal with failure?
• If you were on a starship, what position would you hold?
• If you could give just one piece of advice, what would that be?

Talking About the Movies That Influenced Me With Cinema Splash Page

I spoke to Michael Brodie at Cinema Splash Page all about movies that ignited my creativity when I was young and still factor into my work now, including Conan the Barbarian (1982), the animated Hobbit (1977), The Last Unicorn (1982), Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro (1979), Big Trouble in Little China (1986), The Secret of NIMH (1982), and games like Dungeons & Dragons.
