"Edgar Allan Poe, Herman Melville, Washington Irving, Nathaniel Hawthorne. All these people wrote for children. They may have pretended not to, but they did."

Hahaha! Yes! I discovered Edgar Allan Poe in the Tampines Library when I was a kid.

I discovered the macabre stuff when I was that young. And it sure is cool to know that it was written for me! Who says children can't handle that stuff? :D It's the most awesome stuff. Lots of kids can appreciate horror!

I wanna read Moby Dick next.

"So being able to accept responsibility, but above all having a sense of humor, so that anything that happens can have its amusing side."

"I find this in most fields. The need for romance is constant, and again, it’s pooh-poohed by intellectuals. As a result they’re going to stunt their kids. You can’t kill a dream. Social obligation has to come from living with some sense of style, high adventure, and romance."

And btw, I cannot wait to release my 2010 short film The Interview. :-)

I hope I can 'go places' with this film man! I think, at least, there's no horrible production mistakes in this one. :-D
