A lot of my films have dealt with the dark side of technology and stress that you have to examine the ramifications of progress.

When you realize there are geniuses out there and you'd be a journeyman... that's not good enough. I'd rather be the person helping those who are one in a billion get their vision out.

Generally I try to be on set as much as possible, especially during the early part of a season. I read all of the outlines and scripts and look at the auditions and the cuts for my other shows and give notes on all of that. There's a lot to do, but I enjoy nothing more than being on set because that's where the magic happens.

It's more important to get the right writer and the right take than it is to do something in a particular timeframe.

I think that we can learn so much if we pay attention to our dreams, whether when we are asleep or in waking dreams. There are connections that are absolutely incredible.

I've always loved comic books, which is why I've done films like Hulk and The Punishers.

Film-making is a business and at the bottom line people who don't make fiscally responsible decisions end up going into another line of work.
