I know that it's easier to portray a world that's filled with cynicism and anger, where problems are solved with violence. That's titillating. It's an easy way out. What's a whole lot tougher is to offer alternatives, to present other ways conflicts can be resolve, and to show that you can have a positive impact on your world.

My hope still is to leave the world a bit better than when I got here.

There are people who think that we should never reveal anything, never show puppeteers and all of that. It tends to be something that parents worry about more than kids, because kids work just at face value.

When I was young, my ambition was to be one of the people who made a difference in this world. My hope is to leave the world a little better for having been there.
