If you can't run, you crawl. If you can't crawl-- you find someone to carry you.

I love a straightforward character. I am the guy who loves Cyclops on the 'X-Men', because he is square.

Everything has been for the [President] election for the last couple of months. Since the Democratic National Convention, it's been a dead run to get out as much content as possible and do as much as possible. Then, I go back to writing the screenplay I was working on, which is an original piece - a period piece that I will hopefully finish a couple of months after that, and hopefully I can convince some unsuspecting fool studio to buy.

I don't understand why or how anyone ever pulled off the whole idea of 'women are inferior.'

It was only when I got to college that I realized that the rest of the world didn't run the way my world was run, and that there was a need for feminism. I'd thought it was all solved. There are people like my mom, clearly everyone is equal and it's all fine. Then I get into the world and I hear the things people are saying. Then I get to Hollywood and hear the very casual, almost insidious misogyny that just runs through so much of the fiction. It was just staggering to me.

If the apocalypse comes...beep me!

I'm a science fiction geek from birth - that's just who I am.
