I've been so entwined with technology since I was about 15 recording myself and multitracking and producing things on my own.
Not only is the self entwined in society it owes society its existence in the most literal sense.
'I Am Number Four' is an action-packed adventure entwined with a romantic story. I play the role of John Smith. John wants to be a normal kid but he is from a different planet and he has been given this destiny of becoming a warrior.
I love the concept of togetherness and the entwinement of marriage.
Now I believe that lovers should be draped in flowers and laid entwined together on a bed of clover and left there to sleep left there to dream of their happiness.
Often the magical elements in my books are standing in for elements of the real world the small and magical-in-their-own-right sorts of things that we take for granted and no longer pay attention to like the bonds of friendship that entwine our own lives with those of other people and places.
