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.
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 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.
Something like 'Much Ado' happens, and even 'Avengers' happens because of the years of building connections and doing the work and proving yourself.
I am not a fan of referencing your own work when it's in a different universe than what you're doing. That, to me, is a wink at the audience, and winking isn't actually cool when you're not, like, 10.
I don't like uncertainty. I don't play poker. I don't like bluffing.
I do have screenplays I've written that never saw the light of day, but I don't usually go back to them. When I've told a story, I want to tell another story.
All of the most important lessons about writing I learned from my father. He never set out to teach me anything, it would just be something he said casually in conversation.
The master plan does not have a master plan. Television ultimately finds itself, and after it finds itself, it finds itself changing.
I felt this was a story that had not been told, ... I just needed somebody to believe as strongly as I did, and I found a giant corporation that did, which is the best person of all!
