Quote

I felt pride, wonderful pride, when I was captain. It was an honour to take over from Labby. Anybody who has ever captained a big club, which Everton are, will tell you it's a great honour.

Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once and it's too much. My heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst.

We live in a time where there's an alienation factor. There's a certain disconnection. We don't have any real sense of community anymore.

Obviously death is a theme I'm fascinated by.

I'm 53. I don't care about high school students. I find them irritating and uninformed.

It's easy to look at the vampires as a metaphor for any feared or misunderstood group. It's also easy to look at them as a metaphor for a shadow organization that says one thing and has a completely different agenda on their mind, and anybody who gets in their way, they just get rid of them. Does that sound familiar?

I'm not like J.K. Rowling, where I know there's going to be this number of seasons, and I know exactly what's going to happen. I would be so bored if that was the case. There would be no journey. There would be nothing to discover.

If a scene is longer than three pages, it better be for a good reason.

Most of us live in artificial environments and then we go to work in artificial environments and the world becomes something that you see through a window.

The ego is kind of a big, unwieldy thing. It's not so easily tamed or subdued.

I'm a Buddhist, so one of my biggest beliefs is, 'Everything changes, don't take it personally.'

I think the world is a place for oddballs and freaks. I'm only interested in oddballs and freaks as characters.
Alan Ball
Image
I'm a huge freak, and always have been. I spent the first part of my life trying really desperately not to be one, and it was just a waste of time.
Alan Ball
Image
I think all writers are armchair psychologists to some degree or another, and I think a character's sexuality is fascinating. It's a great way to really get at the root of their identity, because it's such a personal thing.
Alan Ball

The idea of celibate vampires is ridiculous. To me, vampires are sex. I don't get a vampire story about abstinence. I don't care about high school students. I find them irritating and uninformed.

I'm from the South, so while I personally find it impossible to live there, I still have a fondness for it as a geographical region.
