The problem for me is that 'Watchmen,' one of the great comics of all time, is a look at superheroes that has gone beyond the concept of or necessity for superheroes.
We'll meet a Wonder Woman who is similar to the one from the original comics and from the TV series to an extent. Neither of them are really a template. I've never loved the comics and I didn't watch the television series, but I loved the character very much.
I kept telling my mom that reading comic books would pay off.
A lot of people who saw 'The Avengers' didn't read comic books, don't like comic book movies, and enjoyed it. That was huge for me.
I can do web, comic books, macrame, art.
The comic world has its own limitations, as everything does. I adore it, I respect it, but it's not going to take over all of me.
Why anybody gets my sense of humor I never know, but I do know that when they do, I keep them as close as I possibly can.
Twelve-year-old me wanted to do everything: act and sing and paint and dance.
TV does a thing that film can never do. It takes you to a place that no novel written after the late 19th century can. You can just go through people's lives; it's like a marriage.
If somebody is in a story, they need to be there for a reason, and not just to set up somebody else's story.
Wonder Woman isn't Spider-man or Batman. She doesn't have a town, she has a world. That was more interesting to me than a kind of contained, rote superhero franchise.
The secret to multitasking is that it isn't actually multitasking. It's just extreme focus and organization.
My absolute favorite part of Comic-Con is seeing, like, a 'Mass Effect' guy hanging out with a 'Sailor Moon,' and they're just having a great time.
I never give up on anything, because you come back around, and suddenly the thing you thought you'd never do is relevant.
