highly regarded respect superhero
I think 'Green Lantern' has the potential to be a very highly regarded superhero movie. We're approaching it with such respect and such care.
producers solitary
I'm very fortunate in that all the mediums I work in are extremely collaborative. Movies are probably the most solitary on a day to day basis, but even then you have producers and studio executives to work with and bounce ideas off of.
certainly comic far incredibly sure
I think comic books have come an incredibly far way, and I want to make sure we don't take a step back. I certainly don't want my name on a movie that would take it back.
characters comic guess lifelong love
Obviously, I love superheroes; I love comic book characters, but I... I guess I've had a lifelong affection for comics, and while I love the characters so much, I also love the medium.
mind wish kind
I'm always working on something. I wish I had more time for free-thinking and brainstorming new ideas. That's not to say my mind doesn't wander, but I find myself wishing for more of that kind of time.
hopefully life manner
The nice thing about 'Arrow' is we never say never on the show. Hopefully the show will have a nice long life, and all manner of things can potentially happen.
dark fact happen network
I happen to like dark, and I like the fact that 'Arrow' is a pretty dark show, particularly for a network show.
hard
It's always really hard to kill off someone who you just really enjoy working with, writing for, and seeing on the screen.
long doing-me
I love doing meta-humor, as long as it doesn't become too distracting and it's subtle.
good
As always, we start off with asking, 'What's a good episode?' We don't think about timing, and we don't think about logistics. We just think about what would be good.
funny surprised
It's funny: I like being surprised as a reader, so it's difficult for me to spoil my own stuff.
car downtime filling los stuck traffic work
There's a lot of downtime where you're filling your car up with gas, you're driving to work, you're stuck in traffic - it's Los Angeles, and so much of it is a car lifestyle.
crew great settling
One of the great things about the 'Arrow' crew is that no one is settling for what they did yesterday. They're always thinking about what they can do tomorrow.
writing thinking guy
The guy who sits at the keyboard and types is so much smarter than I am. I think I got into writing so that I could spend as much time with that guy as possible.
