I approach serious subjects, and I like to have the good guys win and have the parents among the good guys.

I like guys who are understandable and good guys who are flawed.

There's no good guys and bad guys.

Counter-insurgency warfare is not a simple thing... it's not as simple as, like, good guys versus bad guys. It is a mess.

I believe my readers are crazy about their parents and want to be just like them when they grow up.

Boxing was a way to express my anger. All of a sudden, I was expressing anger, and I was good at it. I was like a Jekyll and Hyde. Boxing helped me because I was fighting the anger out. I was knocking guys out.
