If people walk out of the movie and they think about it, then that's quite something.

I love films where I'm looking around the world a little different now that I've seen that. I want something that nourishes my view of the world.

Let's make really good stories that people get something out of. That's the one common denominator with everything I try to do.

Usually monsters are some aspect of human behavior or humanity at large.

As a journalist you have to think quickly, you're exposed to all types of people and situations and you've got to synthesize your thoughts in a very clear and concise way and write them down quickly. Those were all things that have proven really useful in my life as a television writer.

I think a pilot is a pilot, no matter who's judging it, but I will say I am thinking a lot about how to tell stories for the series in a streaming environment where you can anticipate a huge portion of the audience will consume an entire season in the course of a day, two days or a week.

The beauty of a really good movie is that it's a whole world, complete in an hour and a half or two hours.
