I relate to the feeling that Da Vinci was often plagued by the idea that what he did wasn't good enough, that he was his harshest critic. He'd sometimes destroy what he was working on.

I always felt that if we ever encountered an alien species, they wouldn't look like us or even be humanoid, like 'E.T.'

During my career I’ve enjoyed re-invigorating and contextualizing classic characters that are relatable to contemporary audiences.

Once we start seeing video games that have more memorable characters, you'll see better movie adaptations.

I like telling stories of imperfect people because most people are imperfect.

Da Vinci always seemed like the prototype Tony Stark to me.

Mysticism and the supernatural are embedded in the show - it's called 'Da Vinci's Demons' for a reason, and it's not just metaphorical.
