I think that the reason you keep hearing that it's the golden age of TV is because original storytelling is happening all the time in that medium, and people are hungry for it. And I'm as guilty as anyone for being part of an industry that is capitalizing on existing stories, sequels, these things that we are seeing again and again and again.

Don't sell your story, just tell your story.

I may be even more grateful to George Lucas now than I was as a kid.

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

When I was a kid, among the other embarrassing things I would do, and there's a list of stupid things, but I would make these dumb comedy tapes. I would often make prank phone calls, but I would also do it with friends.

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

I think that the success of the film is as much about it being something that families could share as anything else.
