In really, really good science fiction, the line between the science and the fiction is blurry.
I promised myself I would never be one of those people who complained about "Oh man, lots of people are interested in our movie and now I gotta talk about it."
I've always felt that really good prequels should be original movies.
I was born in 1973, so I did not see 'Alien' when it was released theatrically. I saw 'Alien' when it was on Home Box Office. I think I was probably 10.
I'm not sitting around thinking of ideas for TV shows.
I'm not glass-half-full, glass-half-empty; I'm like, "There's a glass?"
I think that 'The Shield' was a phenomenal series finale.
I love finding new creative partnerships but then continuing the partnerships I'm already in.
I love collaborating with different people.
One person's magical thinking is another person's cynicism.
I stand by the Lost finale. It's the story that we wanted to tell, and we told it. No excuses. No apologies. I look back on it as fondly as I look back on the process of writing the whole show. And while I'll always care what you think, I can't be a slave to it anymore. Here's why: I did it for me. I liked it. I was good at it. And I was really … I was alive.

I've always been fascinated by Disneyland and Disney World, and my favorite part of the park was always Tomorrowland.
That depends on whether or not he likes you. He is inclined to nickname you based on the way that you look. He is sort of the ugly part of us that says the things we may be thinking but are afraid to say. The only endearing name he has for anyone is Kate.
