Why anybody gets my sense of humor I never know, but I do know that when they do, I keep them as close as I possibly can.
We'll meet a Wonder Woman who is similar to the one from the original comics and from the TV series to an extent. Neither of them are really a template. I've never loved the comics and I didn't watch the television series, but I loved the character very much.
You learn something every time you make a mistake.
The people who feel the most strongly about something will turn on you the most vociferously if they feel you've let them down.
'Buffy' is about growing up. 'Angel' is really about already having grown up, dealing with what you've done, and redemption.
I have an obligation to do press, but I don't have an obligation to stay out dancing until 3 A.M.
I have a pathological fear of confrontation. I'm working on that.
I have abused language. I love it, and I abuse it... I don't write just to be clever. But sometimes I do. And if you don't have an understanding of the language, then the way in which it's bent doesn't actually register.
I had older brothers, and I don't think there's anything worse than an older brother. They pretty much told me the end of everything they got to see before I did.
I don't have a ton of enemies. I get along with people pretty well when I'm not annoying them to death.
I didn't watch a lot of American television growing up. I just liked to read a lot and watch movies - movies, movies, and more movies. My family used to make fun of me because I'd like every movie I saw.
I always believe in just have as much fun as you can so that when you're in the part that you hate, there's a light at the end of the tunnel, that you're close to finished.
I always tend to think just left of center, to remove myself from the world by one step. It is very freeing, and it's a particular way of coming at stories and looking at them that I find the most beautiful stuff that I know comes from, ultimately.
For me, the act of telling the story and showing it to somebody is almost gravy.
