The only bitterness I had is: Where is the conversation on gender? That's been going on since there have been men and women, and still we're not hearing about what they're going through.

That all you got...Bub?

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.

There are many films and TV shows I make where people find themselves in fantastical situations; as often as possible their reactions to it are very normal.

The comic world has its own limitations, as everything does. I adore it, I respect it, but it's not going to take over all of me.

I'm very much of the "make it dark, make it grim, make it tough", but then, for the love of God, tell a joke.

Men not only don't get what's important about what women are capable of, but in fact they fear it, and envy it, and want to throw stones at it, because it's the thing they can't have.
