The fundamental law of nature is to not know too much about yourself.

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

I'm a huge Star Trek fan. I've seen all the shows, I've seen all the movies, but ultimately I just want a 2-hour movie that takes me to another time and place - something that entertains me.

I place a higher value on work ethic than talent, because, in certain areas, you just need to cast, you need to cast actors with talent, you need to hire directors with talent, but I've worked with very talented people who have a poor work ethic, and the outcome is less desirable than people who are less talented and have an incredible work ethic.

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

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