I think it’s kind of hard to describe if you can’t do it. I don’t literally see the cup; I’m imagining that I can see the cup. Can you imagine other senses? For example, can you imagine how chocolate tastes, or what it sounds like when somebody’s knocking on a door?

People expect the villains to be cool, because that’s how they’re portrayed in movies.

And they all think by having more money and being more popular will fulfill that human need.
