If there are no films or plays of interest to me, I don't go. I know how to go to a museum or a library or pick up a good magazine or I can watch the sun set. I know how to live. There's a whole creation out there full of magic and wonder to be explored.

The notion of a writer sitting in a library doing research isn't what I want. The research I love doing isn't found in a book.

Those are things I've done to research my stories.
