Since I was 10, I enjoyed complexity. My fantasies were always the most intricate, and my puzzles were always the hardest. Whenever people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I said President of the United States. What could be more complex than running an entire country? But after I learned that some presidents get assassinated in office, I switched careers.
