Way back in the '70s, I was approached to talk about the story I'd write for a Spider-Man movie. They also talked to me about Batman. I had to think about it, but that was way, way back when.

I enjoyed 'The Avengers.' I couldn't do that kind of movie though. Superheroes aren't my deal.

I'm pretty happy with who I am. I like myself and what I'm doing. I don't need to be the world's greatest director or the most famous -- or the richest.

First of all, I was a wrestling fan when I was young. Even when I figured out what wrestling was, I was still a fan.
