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

When I was a little kid - and even still - I loved magic tricks. When I saw how movies got made - at least had a glimpse when I went on the Universal Studios tour with my grandfather, I remember feeling like this was another means by which I could do magic.

One of my favorite things about 'Star Trek' wasn't just the overt banter but the humor in that show about the relationships between the main characters and their reactions to the situations they would face; there was a lot of comedy in that show without ever breaking its reality.

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.

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

I love the idea of anthropomorphizing machines. I love the idea of taking technology and giving it a personality.

Honestly I'm excited about the possibilities of what comes next, and the funny thing is, that is sort of what "Star Wars" is kind of about. I mean, I remember being 10 years old and seeing that movie and leaving the theater and feeling like, oh, my God, anything is possible. And I feel like anything is possible right now. I don't know what's next, but I look forward to it.
