I'm not great at fear. I made the least frightening vampire show ever on TV. I'm pretty much good at heroic narratives and making people laugh, and that's pretty much it.

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

Humor keeps us alive. Humor and food. Don't forget food. You can go a week without laughing.

I've seen [Trump] appear in a film or a TV show cameo or the tabloids, and he's a grotesquely distasteful human being and always has been, always made me want to take a shower.

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.

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

In the time of gods and monsters, what is the worth of a man?
