I think if a story has a message it should be incidental and accidental, otherwise it leans too close to indoctrination.
We want to open digg up to just about anyone and everyone that wants to express their interest in any type of news story or Web content.
I find that writing is as magical as the genre I write in. When the story comes alive and takes over, it's truly a journey to another world.
While some debate its helpfulness at generating monetizable traffic, when Digg points to a story, huge audience spikes quickly follow.
Each director is different. Clint Eastwood and Chris Nolan are completely different, and I need to adjust to the story and character and the director and just my duty as an actor.

My wishes before I die, to fulfill my mission on earth; The writing of my life stories to inspired present and future generations.

My research process doesn't vary much. I do a little reading to establish a timeline and decide how I'm going to approach the story.
I loved ghost stories, creaky staircases, stormy nights. If it guaranteed nightmares I read it by flashlight, after midnight.
I identified in a very deep way with the individuals I was writing about because the theme that runs through this story is of extraordinary hardship and the will to overcome it.
I've been writing stories since I was 12. 'Writer's Digest' was one of my writing teachers, actually.
You have to go where the story is to report on it. As a journalist, you're essentially running to things that other people are running away from.

In choosing any role, I ask the same questions: what kind of part is it? is the role challenging? does the director have a vision? is the story moving? etc.
