hate mean stuff
I hate to look at the stuff I've written and consider what it means or why I do it.
recovery thinking firsts
I think admitting youre an addict is the first step towards recovery.
would-be lucky strategy
I've just been lucky to work on things that I felt would be cool to see. It's not that I had a strategy or anything.
block tears want
Whenever a toddler sees a pile of blocks, he wants to tear it down.
important
My work isn't any more important than anything else in the family
taken ideas lines
We're always pitching ideas and being told "no thank you." No offense taken, because I would so much rather be told the truth that they're not interested and be able to find the right show for that network down the line.
grateful mean men
George Lucas is the reason that we got to make this movie, you know, he was the man that created this whole galaxy, and I am incredibly grateful to him. He's an artist and he's a grown-up. And I take him at his word, and it doesn't mean I agree with everything he says, but I respect, you know, his right to his opinion.
pitching difficult difficult-things
Pitching is always a weird, difficult thing.
stars war kids
As a kid, 'Star Wars' was much more my thing than 'Star Trek' was.
lucky firsts
I am lucky, I'm the first to admit that.
believe stories audience
I believe in anything that will engage the audience and make the story more effective.
have-faith discussion hard
I find that it's hard to fully examine one's life and not have faith be part of the discussion.
jobs writing creating
Directing a movie precludes me from being involved in any greater way. But, the job was never to do more, it was always to enable. Sometimes as a producer, you're creating and writing it, or sometimes you're writing and directing it, or other times you're there from the very beginning.
ideas episodes theory
The idea to put episodes out weekly in theory makes as much sense as putting them all out at once.
