I tend to tell stories that have a lot of momentum; it's not like 'and then months later...' I like things where the momentum of one action rolls into the next one so everything is the sum of that.

Paul Hollywood's "You're under baked" is even better than "You're fired."

My visions of the future are always pretty much standard issue. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer and there are flying cars.

I still believe that even though 'The Empire Strikes Back' is better in innumerable ways than 'Star Wars,' 'Star Wars' wins.

There are two things that I cannot resist: one is musicals and the other is a spaceship in trouble. But I am smart enough not to combine the two things.

Whatever makes you weird is probably your greatest asset.

The world is scary, and things are overwhelming, and there's a lot at stake.
