The Punk Scene In Ny

Hybridity Keeps Me From Being Rigid About Most Things. It Has Taught Me To Appreciate The Contradictions In The World And In My Life. I Scavenge From The Best.

I Love Writing Dialogue, And I Think A Lot Of My Writing Is Visual And Very Cinematic.

Growing Up In The Philippines, I Loved All Kinds Of Movies. We Had A Very Healthy Film Industry There When I Was A Child. It's Now Gotten Very Limited. They Only Make Action Movies And Hard-core Exploitation Movies. Women Get Raped; Men Get Shot.

We Didn't Have Television Until I Was About Eight Years Old, So It Was Either The Movies Or Radio. A Lot Of Radio Drama. That Was Our Television, You Know. We Had To Use Our Imagination. So It Was Really Those Two Things, And The Comics, That I Immersed Myself In As A Child.

There Were Also Horror Shows On The Radio. Very Terrifying And Thrilling To Me As A Kid. They Had All These Creepy Sound Effects. They Would Come On At Ten O'clock At Night, And I Just Would Scare Myself To Death.
