passion thinking obsession
I think you have a passion and an obsession for something when it's not necessarily ubiquitous.
trying want watches
I try to work on shows that I would want to watch.
want worried decent
I was just like, "I want to make a decent 2-D movie." I was so worried that, instead of being a decent 2-D movie, it would have been a bad 3-D one.
issues fiction monsters
I'd love to do a movie where the monster is human, where the issue is not otherworldly, or horror or science fiction.
television advantage ability
The ability of a television series to make adjustments is something you've got to take advantage of.
kids thinking years
I think when you're 10 years old, it's too much to see something with the threat of death in every episode. Kids are better left naive about certain things.
pitching difficult difficult-things
Pitching is always a weird, difficult thing.
blessed people capacity
I feel blessed that I get to be part of entertaining people in any capacity.
kindergarten
I've had the same friends since I was in kindergarten.
sports kids blow
Making movies was more a reaction to not being chosen for sports. Other kids were out there playing at whatever; I was off making something blow up and filming it, or making a mould of my sister's head using alginating plaster.
issues long stories
Stories in which the destruction of society occurs are explorations of social fears and issues that filmmakers, novelists, playwrights, painters have been examining for a long time.
letting-go ideas deserve-more
It's not a bad way to live once you let go of the idea that you deserve more.
success smartphones white
It's cool to be a nerd. There's a general understanding that smartphones didn't come from jocks. The digital age was foreseen by a group of short-sleeved, buttoned-down, white-shirted guys and their female equivalents designing the very stuff that's now ubiquitous.
ifs loses happens
It's what happens. You love, then you lose, then you die. Even if you survive, you die.
