I have always loved magic realism as a form of writing. I have also been fascinated for a long time with the intersection of science and religion.
Improv is a very big thing for me. The thing with actors is I do not understand at all how they do what they do. I'm fascinated by it, and I have such a respect for it.
Experimental science is fascinating, but I don't want to do it. I want other people to do it, and I'll read about it.

When I was very little my mother would read to me in bed. She gave me a fascination for stories, and for the music in words.
