Everything I write tends to turn into a superhero team, even if I didn't mean for it to. I always start off wanting to be solitary, because a) it's simpler, and b) that isolation is something that I relate to as a storyteller. And then no matter what, I always end up with a team.

We need narrative; it feeds us in a particular way, and deconstructing it completely before you've actually experienced it, I think it leaves us unfed.

A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend

There is always backlash. Everything gets backlash.

I think it's not inaccurate to say that I had a perfectly happy childhood during which I was very unhappy.

There's some great reality TV, and I'm not bagging on it completely.

I respect the rules of TV, the rules of keeping things commercial and interesting and pop-y and fun.
