Showing your movie to an audience... it's like your kid doing a piano recital. 'Just let it not fail. Please.

All my favorite movies are somebody else's least favorite movie.

Game of Thrones' is just incredible, what they pull off every week.

I really spend as long as I can sketching everything out and working on the structure before I sit down to type out scenes.

If I spend a year and a half writing a script, the first year will be outlining in notebooks. It's just the way I work, definitely not necessarily the best way.

I think what I love about science fiction and what sci-fi can be really good at is obviously you're working with outlandish concepts that have very little to do with the real world, like time travel for instance.

All of us have that feeling of some deficiency from our childhood. I think that's a universal thing.
