So, I decided to set it in Louisiana.

He didnt like Sunday school.
Sometimes he used bad language whenever he could.
He even smoked a pipe.

And he hung around with a slave.
They were just everyday people.
That would be the first book that made me see how powerful could be in the lives of children.

When I read William Goldmans book, I was hooked and converted.
I really just went to hear the music.
When the video tape came out, I bought the videotape and would just listen to the music.
Im hoping that by now saying it in public that I will be shamed into going to read it.
A recent book I wish Id writtenLast Ones Left Aliveby Sarah Davis-Goff.It is kind of an Irish zombie book.
Its kind of a feminist take on the zombie apocalypse.
I cant sustain that.
I have to put in a joke.
I thoughtBenedict Cumberbatchdid a fantastic Smaug [inThe Hobbitmovies].
I think he came so close to what people imagined his voice [would be].
I was really blown away by that, and his artwork is fabulous.
Its kind of like a literary graphic novel.
Tolkien, that theres no point in trying to do better in that arena.
Its all about the gumshoe, the golden age of Hollywood, and the starlet.
I also wish Id written that book.
My wife and I just devour every series as it comes out.
And we loveThe Marvelous Mrs. Maiselas well.
The last movie that I watchedThe Gentlemen, which is a new Guy Ritchie movie.
Primarily we went to see that because Colin Farrell is in it.
He was absolutely fantastic in that movie, [playing] a very dodgy character.
Hes really funny, [had] great delivery, and had a whole new look.
Colin Farrell, Id love to see him get some recognition for his acting in this movie.
My brother and I were big Queen fans.
I mean, the imagination of cinematographer Jordan Cronenweth and director Ridley Scott was fantastic!
When I want something to inspire me, I would very often listen to Kate Bush.
