I'm not a fan of endless mystery in storytelling - I like to know where the mythology's going; I like to get there in an exciting, fast-paced way - enough that there's a really clear, aggressive direction to where it's going, to pay off mystery and reward the audiences loyalty.

You think you're funny? I think I'm adorable.

People love a good mystery; I understand that.

I like to find ideas where the research is going to be fun.
