Kids don't even know what it means that you have to watch a show on Thursday night at 9 o'clock, on any given network. You just put it on your DVR, or queue it up on your computer, and it's an on-demand and instant access world.

I love stories of female empowerment. I love stories of, "Hey, I'm an ordinary person." "No, you're not!" I love stories about not knowing you have it in you, but when called to task, you rise and you find out who you are.

Actors can become very involved in a role, but for a director or producer, that's your life for many years.

What's better these days, television or film? It's a dead heat. In fact, one could argue for television with more regularity.

I don't really think about film or television or going directly to the internet. I just think about doing something that people are going to get excited about.

I felt a particular attachment, naturally, to the Superman character and really dug deep, but at the same time, I am a passionate fan, be it Star Wars, be it the entire Marvel catalog, be it the DC catalog, or the original thinking at Pixar. I'm a fan first, so I'm always curious to see the way people express themselves and how it's being done.

It's always fun watching new actors and new voices come out.
