I think the core of fans' relationship is one that vacillates schizophrenically and mercurially from reverence to resentment.

There's something strange about theater. My characters consistently demonize elitism, but of course it's taking place in a theater where only so many people can see it.

I have seen how leaders rule by intimidation. Leaders who demonize and dehumanize entire groups of people often do so because they have nothing else to offer. And I have seen how places that stifle the voices and dismiss the potential of their citizens are diminished: how they are less vital, less hopeful, less free.
