I think when you're 10 years old, it's too much to see something with the threat of death in every episode. Kids are better left naive about certain things.

We went on the opening weekend [of Star Wars], a group of us went out and just popped into a couple theaters just to see people in the theater watching the movie, and it was incredibly gratifying just to see the thing out there being watched by people. And the reaction was more than we could've expected.

I feel like obviously the standard for what TV looks like changes all the time.

Whenever a toddler sees a pile of blocks, he wants to tear it down.

Making movies was more a reaction to not being chosen for sports. Other kids were out there playing at whatever; I was off making something blow up and filming it, or making a mould of my sister's head using alginating plaster.

The ability of a television series to make adjustments is something you've got to take advantage of.

I was never really a comic-book fanatic.
