At the end of the day, I think the only way to do the kind of job a writer does is push everything aside and just ultimately sit down and do the work.

You can save the city, but having the city be in jeopardy is one thing and having the people you care about be in jeopardy is another.

When I first started writing, I had a very difficult time switching between projects, but now it's not only second-nature, it's indispensable: If I stall on one project, I can switch to another and stay productive.

I love doing meta-humor, as long as it doesn't become too distracting and it's subtle.

I'm a very big believer that the reason you've seen this huge surge in superheroes both on television and in film is...part of it of course is zeitgeist. There's no denying that there's a huge appetite on the part of the audience in both TV and film for these kind of adventures.

The guy who sits at the keyboard and types is so much smarter than I am. I think I got into writing so that I could spend as much time with that guy as possible.
