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.

I'm not glass-half-full, glass-half-empty; I'm like, "There's a glass?"

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

People are disappointed when the world doesn't end on their watch.

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

I think 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy has a very satisfying ending, and there's not really that deep of a mythological construct.

If you do something awesome, you should be proud of yourself.
