If Edgar Allan Poe were alive today, his agent would be constantly slapping him upside the head with tightly rolled copies of his brilliant short stories and novelettes, yelling, ‘Full-length novels, you moron!

Three and a half years in L.A. was enough for me. I would love to go back for short bursts if a film opportunity came up, but it’s a unique place, and you can reach saturation point.
