“As a teenager, when you’re first discovering punk music, the first movie that you also discover is ‘Clockwork Orange.’ At the time it was the first movie that I saw that did not have a hero in it. Period, there was nobody likable in this film. I had never seen a film like that. One of the things I liked about the book is the language. I came up with a lot of terms for 'Danger Days’ that didn’t necessarily exist; I wanted it to feel exactly like the first pages of 'Clockwork Orange.’”
