Suffice it to say, there are some very big ideas in Prometheus and, therefore, it covers a very vast expanse of time.

Hopping around time in a non-linear storytelling fashion (on 'Lost') allows you to bring back characters who are dead and, in some cases, buried. Now that time travel is the story itself, it opens up even more doors. So when an actor reads that they're getting killed off on the show, they're basically, like, 'Okay, but should I still bother to show up next week?'

I'm not sitting around thinking of ideas for TV shows.

If your friend is critical [of your work], you have to have a very thick skin and a thick skin is something that only builds up after it's callused for awhile.

For us, there's an inherent process when you're ending something to be thinking about the beginning, as writers.

When someone says something in an interview, the beauty of Twitter is that it's a platform for instantaneous response.

I make no distinction between writing and storytelling; I've always wanted to tell stories.
