Otherwise I'm going to have to start apologising to everyone who has ever contributed to human culture in a way that's registered with me.

I have taken ideas, tropes, styles, principles of composition from all of them without their explicit consent. Learned from them, shuffled them around, incorporated them into my own work.

Just as these creators built on the work of all the creators who came before them. Ruthlessly.
