I was never really a comic-book fanatic.

I don't want to do something that is so inside that only die-hard fans will appreciate.

It's cool to be a nerd. There's a general understanding that smartphones didn't come from jocks. The digital age was foreseen by a group of short-sleeved, buttoned-down, white-shirted guys and their female equivalents designing the very stuff that's now ubiquitous.

When there's an authentic mystery, as opposed to just a question being asked, that's what makes you lean forward.

I don't think I have a signature.

I have nothing against 3-D in theory. But I've also never run to the movies because something's in 3-D.

I hope to make movies that are so small they don't need to make anything to be profitable.
