thinking actors should
I love working with the right actor, and if the right actor happens to be unknown, that should be allowed, too, I think.
ideas decision pages
I guess the idea of not wanting to choose to direct a film, for which I've not read a script. It's a tough decision to make without seeing any pages. That's not to say that I don't have all the faith in the world in the spectacular writers.
passion thinking obsession
I think you have a passion and an obsession for something when it's not necessarily ubiquitous.
trying want watches
I try to work on shows that I would want to watch.
recording-music
I love recording music.
book comic-book comic
I was never really a comic-book fanatic.
issues fiction monsters
I'd love to do a movie where the monster is human, where the issue is not otherworldly, or horror or science fiction.
kindergarten
I've had the same friends since I was in kindergarten.
mother most-amazing amazing-person
My mother is the coolest, most amazing person I know.
tvs looks standards
I feel like obviously the standard for what TV looks like changes all the time.
stars war president
Well, when Kathy Kennedy, who is the president of Lucasfilm, came to me to ask if I'd be interested in working on this "Star Wars" movie, we talked about a young woman at the center of the story from the outset. And it was something that was always an important part of this movie.
success smartphones white
It's cool to be a nerd. There's a general understanding that smartphones didn't come from jocks. The digital age was foreseen by a group of short-sleeved, buttoned-down, white-shirted guys and their female equivalents designing the very stuff that's now ubiquitous.
mediums
I'm literally open to any medium that will have me.
writing long guy
I'm an impatient guy and tend not to like to stay with one thing for a long time. I'll never be able to write as many scripts as I did for "Felicity" or "Alias" ever again. I'm just too impatient these days. I want to get on to the next project.
