I like horror; I like comedy; I like drama; I like action; I like female heroes.
I loved working with 'The Avengers' cast and we had a great time, but it was a job, and they had other commitments during that job, so they would go off and do other things.
I like my chances. But it is absolutely still too amorphous for me to make any kind of announcement about it. I'm out there trying, and there's other people trying, to put it together. But until something falls in place, I really can't say.
I'm not big on regret; I don't spend a lot of time on it.
I kept telling my mom that reading comic books would pay off.
I love TV in a way that I don't love any other medium.
I'm probably going to turn it in in a few days. It's coming along. ... There will be all of the expected stuff. Of course there will be the bracelets; there will be the invisible jet, the lasso, all of that.
I had this extraordinary world I helped create, with this cast I felt were the most extraordinary people I'd worked with, who were born to play these parts,
I'm very much more interested in the created family than I am in actual families.
I like to think that I'm a populist entertainer, but I'm a little bit idiosyncratic, and sometimes the networks wouldn't really roll with that.
I've had so much success. I had something to say, I got to say it, people heard it, and they agreed. That's every artist's dream. That's the brass ring.
It's very sweet to mention the word sequel, ... Obviously that's the way my brain works. It continues to tell stories. So it's inevitable for me that I do that, and of course I love this universe. I love these people, and I would jump at the chance to do it again.
The Internet community started forming right when 'Buffy' started airing, and the notion of a show creator being anything other than a name people recognize on the screen was completely new.
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.
