Alan Moore
Almost everybody I’ve ever read, if I’m honest, has influenced me either positively or negatively. Major influences would be William Burroughs, for the purposeful and shamanic energy that he had in his writing and his ideas; the non-musician Brian Eno simply for his eternally curious and adventurous approach to creativity itself; and more recently the extraordinary Iain Sinclair for the level of attack and crackling intensity that comes with his furious approach to language.

Alan Moore:
Everyone is crazy, but some people are Genius Crazy (writers, poets, artists etc) or Crazy Crazy (psychopaths, politicians, Marlon Brando while filming Apocalypse Now) Or at least this is what I believe. My question is do you believe this as well and if so, do you think being one or both makes helps in making a great writer or does it have nothing to do with that?

Alan Moore:
Dear Mr Moore. As I am only allowed to ask you one question I am afraid that I am going to have to make it a big one… Do you believe that given our seemingly unique position in this world, that mankind as a whole, essentially has a duty to accomplish something during our tenure as a species, and if so, do you think there is any hope that at some point in the future we will actually manage it? Many thanks, K
