I've talked to a few writers who have had childhood illnesses. The sense of convalescence - the feeling that you're waiting to become a real person - is quite an interesting thing. You're seeing all of your friends doing amazing things and you're just there, in a void, feeling a bit stupid.

I prefer shooting on location, just because it always helps you. You go some place, you put your life on hold even more than when you've settled in some place.

If one has to conform to a certain taste, he/she might lose his/her own individuality and imagination.
