-> "I have one particular theme ... and that’s helplessness. The empowerment of someone who’s helpless. And that has everything to do with how I feel about myself.

Shakespeare ([[SarcasmMode he's this hot new writer]]) does it way more than me, and everyone's all excited about how he, as it were, holds a mirror up to nature, while I'm like the [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason Voorhees]] of the writing community.
