I like design, I like details, to me it is just another form of self-expression. John Malkovich designdetailexpression Change image and share on social
I like devilish, thorny, dirty, mean roles, muck and mire, unbelievably sad, unbelievably happy, burdened. Inner conflict - that's where drama is. Amanda Plummer burdenconflictdevilish Change image and share on social
I like dialogue in novels. I wanted to avoid laying history on with a trowel - appearing to be lecturing, as opposed to the characters lecturing their children or students. Dialogue can humanise the story and make it go down somewhat more smoothly. Elliot Perlman appearavoidcharacter share on social
I like dialogue that is slightly more brittle than life. I have always admired and wished to write one of those 1940s film scripts where every line is written with a sharpness and economy that is frankly artificial. Tom Stoppard 1940sadmireartificial share on social
I like Diaspora because it's audacious, it's driven by passion, and it's very, very hard to do. After all, who in their right mind would set as a goal taking on Facebook? That's sort of like deciding to build a better search engine - very expensive, with a high likelihood of failure. John Battelle audaciousbuilddecide share on social
