The thing I know how to do most is write a play. I came up loving plays and learning about plays and writing plays. I actually feel like an outsider when I'm writing movies and television.

If you close your eyes you can imagine the hackers sitting in a room, combing through the documents to find the ones that will draw the most blood.
