I had a philosophy, which may have been proven right, that directing isn't as hard as everyone says it is.

I like the idea of making big budget films with a heart. I like graphic novels more than comic books.

Cliches are what make you understand something.

I like doing as many special effects in camera, as much as possible.

You need cliches. Cliches are what people respond to.

I like the X-Men, otherwise I wouldn't be doing it.

And writing I think is a gift that you have, the same as acting, in a way.
