I used to write chronologically when I started, from beginning to end. Eventually I went, 'That's absurd; my heart is in this one scene, therefore I must follow it.'
Running a TV show is always running a TV show; it's never not running a TV show.
Directing a film was as exciting and daunting as it was supposed to be,
Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women.
Especially, I think, living in any fantasy or science fiction world means really understanding what you're seeing and reading really densely on a level that a lot of people don't bother to read.
I've never met a well-adjusted person. It's weird.
I've often said there's no such thing as a track record in TV. I seen people who created things much more successful than mine treated like dirt.
I usually write things in my head before I ever write them down. When I write it out, usually I've already figured out what it is I'm trying to do.
Soon, I will be 'King of all Hollywoodland.'
Originally, I was hesitant. But then it's also sort of why I became really interested, because she doesn't have so much baggage for me, the way, say, Spider-Man would.
The musicals that I love on stage are generally meant for the stage.
A lot of people who saw 'The Avengers' didn't read comic books, don't like comic book movies, and enjoyed it. That was huge for me.
They're a lot more attractive than I am, actually, ... Which kind of disturbs and upsets me.
Something like 'Much Ado' happens, and even 'Avengers' happens because of the years of building connections and doing the work and proving yourself.
