“Trying to solve the mystery is what I enjoy most about writing.” — Jon Ronson Quote

Trying to solve the mystery is what I enjoy most about writing.

At first, I did stories on people who were maybe just eccentric. Omar was a natural progression from that.

I consider myself a social justice person.

Obviously, I like to write stories that are page-turners. But I always try my very, very hardest to be as factually true as possible.

The phrase 'misuse of privilege' is becoming a free pass to tear apart pretty much anybody we choose to. It's becoming a devalued term, and it's making us lose our capacity for empathy and for distinguishing between serious and unserious transgressions.

The great mystery is why robots come off so well in science-fiction films when the human characters are often so astoundingly wooden.

I go through stages with all kinds of stuff. There'll be a couple of months where I'm reading, you know, like, fiction mystery novels, and there'll be a couple more where I'll be redecorating a room in my house.

I grew up on a very specific diet of certain weird movies. Of course, being black, there are more black movies in there. I'll get to bring some of those references into 'Mystery Science Theater 3000.'

I would say that all short stories have mystery naturally built into them.

I think mystery... allows us time to dream.
