I don't think I have a signature.

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.

When I was a kid, it was a huge insult to be a geek. Now it's a point of pride in a weird way.

It is an incredible thing to see how many crazy things get thrown out that people then often write commentaries about how happy they are or how disappointed they are about something that's completely false. But, it's a lot of noise, frankly.

Stories in which the destruction of society occurs are explorations of social fears and issues that filmmakers, novelists, playwrights, painters have been examining for a long time.

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.

I love movies with spectacle but spectacle can be a performance, it doesn't have to be a creature.
