The old problems - love, money, security, status, health, etc. - are still here to plague us or please us.

My first job was at a Chicago night club called Mr. Kelly's.

Incidentally, I'm still looking for acting work, my first love.

I get asked all the time if I want to do more dramatic acting, and I really doubt that dramatic actors get asked if they want to do more comedies. I don't really know why that is.

With literary fiction, generally a film maker falls in love with a book. In commercial fiction, it's a producer or studio falling in love with a book they can make into a movie with worldwide appeal.

You probably found 'How to Survive a Robot Uprising' in the humor section. Let's just hope that is where it belongs.
