I try to give both my heroes and villains an emotional dimensionality which provides the motivation for their actions.

My heroes are those who risk their lives every day to protect our world and make it a better place - police, firefighters and members of our armed forces.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.
