I only do things about people and situations, and I do the ones that I think I'm the best guy for the job on, which is usually something I generate myself.

Digression is my passion. I love telling the main stories, but in some ways, what I love most is using those narratives as a way of stringing together the interesting stories that people have kind of forgotten, and that are kind of surprising.
