I try to push ideas away, and the ones that will not leave me alone are the ones that ultimately end up happening.

The idea to put episodes out weekly in theory makes as much sense as putting them all out at once.

My mother is the coolest, most amazing person I know.

I feel like in telling stories, there are the things the audience thinks are important, and then there are the things that are actually important.

My work isn't any more important than anything else in the family

I'd love to do a movie where the monster is human, where the issue is not otherworldly, or horror or science fiction.

I quickly said that, because of my loyalty to 'Star Trek' and also just being a fan, I wouldn’t even want to be involved in the next version of those things. I declined any involvement very early on. I’d rather be in the audience not knowing what was coming, rather than being involved in the minutiae of making them.
