I'm at the point in my life where I don't want to work as hard. Actually, I've had to take a good hard look at workaholism and it's effect on one's mental health.

I really love storytelling, and I love the stories as they reveal themselves. It's an incredibly nourishing process; it's probably the closest I come to having a religion.

I'm not like J.K. Rowling, where I know there's going to be this number of seasons, and I know exactly what's going to happen. I would be so bored if that was the case. There would be no journey. There would be nothing to discover.

When I go home, the last thing I want to do is read about the popular lore of vampires.

We live in a patriarchal culture. It's okay for women to be objectified but not for men.

I would say try to tell stories that you care about as opposed to stories that you think will sell.

We live in a time where there's an alienation factor. There's a certain disconnection. We don't have any real sense of community anymore.
