The movies that made me want to make movies were action movies and thrillers and Kurosawa films you know where you have an opportunity every day to shoot it in an unusual way. I was looking for something like that.

I like all of the mental psychological thriller movies too. I enjoy horror movies across the board.

I love horror I love scary movies I love thrillers. If things creep you out and spook you? I love it.

I have lots of records quite a collection actually that I stole from my mom. I have the original 'Thriller' album and I have a really great 'Elton John's Greatest Hits ' and I also have a N.E.R.D. album. Records sound more original. They have more edge.

People talk of me as being the inventor of the legal thriller.

Truly I never thought of myself as writing legal thrillers and I still don't think I do. I write stories about women.

Now I'm a failed political consultant. But sometimes fiction has a way of capturing people's imagination in a way that non-fiction doesn't. Conservatives typically haven't written much fiction - specifically political thrillers - over the years to educate inspire and mobilize people on issues of great import but we ought to.

As Ralph's character begins to discover the political thriller aspect of the film he falls deeper in love with his wife so the two run together. That's the beauty of this film. It has fast pace and excitement but it also has heart and soul.
