I've never produced a series, so for me [X-men] was a wonderful challenge.

With Legion, we're our own universe. It gives Noah [Hawley] the freedom to do what he wants to do. Because we play with so many different timelines, and we rebooted and not really rebooted and all that, we felt like, OK, we're going to throw it out there and hope the fans accept it.

What we always want to say [in X-men] is, "It's OK to be yourself, and actually it's a gift to be yourself. Whatever it is that you have, that may be your gift." I think that's what we always want to say, and spread it out, so have tolerance for other people who are different also.

The thrill of doing television versus features is in television you get to focus more on the characters.

At a certain point people want to see other movies besides comic book movies so you have to be really careful what you're going to pick, and how many are going to be released within a year.

I think it's good to tell the fans "this movie's going to lead to that, and that will lead to..."

I find myself watching cable and television much more than going to the movies.
