Quotes
- “I love raccoons. I had a raccoon figurine collection as a kid, and I now have two movies with 'Ranger Rick' jokes in them. I love 'em. They come in my backyard all the time, and we just stare at each other like a couple of idiots.”
- “I think of the Avengers as The Beatles, and the Guardians are the Rolling Stones. That is really how I feel about the groups.”
- “I like Jason Statham movies, like The Transporter or whatever. I watch them all the time when they come on TV. Then I saw 'Crank,' and I couldn't believe how awesome it was.”
- “The Flash resets many things, not all things. Some characters remain the same, some do not .”
- “Each story should be enjoyed on its own merits, without relying on its connection to a larger universe, adding that shared universes should enhance individual stories, not the other way around.”
- “Science fiction literature's focus is on ideas, the concept of change, and the impact on humanity. Those concepts are hard to capture on film. They work better in the mind.”
