There's not going to be a 'Buffy' season nine on television.
I spent a ton of time alone. I was raised by a feminist; I had a terrifying father and oppressively scary and mean brothers. We had a farm. The rule was between breakfast and lunch you weren't allowed to make a sound.
I've been doing Shakespeare readings with my friends for years.
I've been in this business for a long while, but it's not like I've been waiting tables. Since I started writing, I've only worked on things that I love. I've had a lot of heartbreak, but you don't become an artist and not expect that.
I used to write chronologically when I started, from beginning to end. Eventually I went, 'That's absurd; my heart is in this one scene, therefore I must follow it.'
Originally, I was hesitant. But then it's also sort of why I became really interested, because she doesn't have so much baggage for me, the way, say, Spider-Man would.
The musicals that I love on stage are generally meant for the stage.
Something like 'Much Ado' happens, and even 'Avengers' happens because of the years of building connections and doing the work and proving yourself.
I usually write things in my head before I ever write them down. When I write it out, usually I've already figured out what it is I'm trying to do.
Soon, I will be 'King of all Hollywoodland.'
Running a TV show is always running a TV show; it's never not running a TV show.
I've never met a well-adjusted person. It's weird.
I've often said there's no such thing as a track record in TV. I seen people who created things much more successful than mine treated like dirt.
She doesn't really understand this world. She's very strong but she's also very naive. She's not quite as little as the girls I'm used to writing, but she's definitely one of them in the sense of she'll undergo that kind of baptism of fire that used to be relegated to the male gender.
