Probably having fallen in love with music and movies at a young age and then first learning about writing by kind of following the path of writers like Dave Marsh and Lester Bangs and being a rock journalist.
It`s more like can I build a group of characters and can I tell some universal truths that feel real and aren`t formulaic in the spirit of filmmakers gone by who`ve told American stories that were personal and universal as well.
Time puts things in proper perspective.
