The fact of the matter is fame predates even the age of cinema.

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

Somebody once asked me if I have anything like faith, and I said I have faith in the narrative. I have a belief in a narrative that is bigger than me, that is alive and I trust will work itself out.

My life has included a study of Shakespeare and to me it's very natural, but I know that it's not always accessible to other people.

I don't want to create responsible shows with lawyers in them. I want to invade people's dreams.

When I read [the script] and saw that it was my fanboy wet dream of an Avengers script and that [Agent] Coulson was a big part of it, that was the great day for me. I just drove around the streets with the script in the other seat, giggling.

The stupidest person in the room might have the best idea.
