David S. Goyer quotes about
ideas feelings sometimes
I relate to the feeling that Da Vinci was often plagued by the idea that what he did wasn't good enough, that he was his harshest critic. He'd sometimes destroy what he was working on.
looks aliens species
I always felt that if we ever encountered an alien species, they wouldn't look like us or even be humanoid, like 'E.T.'
thinking would-be aliens
I think if we ever encountered aliens, even communicating with them would be really, really difficult.
book long greek
I've long said that comic books are the modern equivalent of our Greek myths.
people telling-stories stories
I like telling stories of imperfect people because most people are imperfect.
demon embedded reason
Mysticism and the supernatural are embedded in the show - it's called 'Da Vinci's Demons' for a reason, and it's not just metaphorical.
book reading writing
I grew up reading comic books, pulp books, mystery and science fiction and fantasy. I'm a geek; I make no pretensions otherwise. It's the stuff that I love writing about. I like creating worlds.
thinking regard revising
I think I regard any history in quotes, because just like science, we're constantly revising science, we're constantly revising history.
Superman is not as innately cool as Batman.
games digging thrones
I honestly love nothing better than digging into a really good serialized show, whether it's 'Breaking Bad' or 'Game of Thrones' or 'Justified.'
four pages scripts
I did three or four weeks of work on 'Godzilla;' it wasn't a page-one rewrite or anything like that. The term is 'script doctoring,' is what I did on it.
book reading mean
I'm a big comic book geek and I've been reading comic books since pretty much since I was five or six in 1971 or something like that. So, I mean, I read it all and there's certainly a lot of different iterations of Superman that I personally have enjoyed more than others.
cons family hard material people pressures pros torture understand
I am an artist, and I understand the pros and cons of being an artist, and the pressures of being an artist, and how much being an artist can be torture to people around you; you know, you friends and your family and how material you can be, and how it's hard to take criticism and all the things like that.
action believe character difficult disagree female happen hard hollywood people woman wonder
I think Wonder Woman is a very difficult character to crack. More difficult than Superman, who is also more difficult than Batman. Also, a lot of people in Hollywood believe that it's hard to do a big action movie with a female lead. I happen to disagree with that.
