We have done the impossible. And that makes us mighty.
Every day's a negotiation and sometimes it's done with guns.
Forgiveness is like a great act of compassion. That it was done not because someone deserved it, but because they needed it.
You think we're dancing?" "That's all we've ever done.
One of my favourite sorts of actors...the rat actor. The rat actor knows his job and gets it done.
The goal is always about the next story. It's always about the thing I haven't done before. It's about learning, or it's about becoming better, and it's about whatever story grabs hold of me.
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.
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.
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.'
Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women.
