I love finding new creative partnerships but then continuing the partnerships I'm already in.

At some point, you can't take a risk just to take a risk because that's a betrayal, in and of itself.

The best jokes on The Leftovers are the ones that make you feel a little sick to your stomach.

Everything I've ever been a fan of, whether it's Star Wars or the New York Jets, I've also been very hard on at times. It's sort of like, I go to a Jets game, I want them to win, but the minute they fumble the ball, I go, "I f**king knew it! F**king Jets!" That's part of loving something. As long as you love it, you have carte blanche to critique it as well, of course. That's part of being a fan of anything.

Once you spend more than $100 million on a movie, you have to save the world.

Hire people you get along with, and then let them do what they do best.

I'll never be immune to criticism, and that's okay, and I'm very comfortable with that.
