Personally, the NSA collecting data on me freaks me out. It totally freaks me out. And yet I'm from the generation that wants to put a GPS in their kids so I always know where they are.
I tried to write a TV series, and then I discovered first of all that I love writing more than anything on this earth, and that you could write exactly as well as you want to.
The news isn't there to tell you what happened. It's there to tell you what it wants you to hear or what it thinks you want to hear.
I don't want to create responsible shows with lawyers in them. I want to invade people's dreams.
You know, the thing that I do to waste time is think of things I want to make. That's how my mind is employed.
Angel, when I look into the future, all I see is you! All I want is you. I know the feeling.
Kristen Stewart is kind of captivating; she can just stare at stuff and it works because I still want to watch it.
The problem is I want to do everything. I really love all of it, and I love every aspect of movie-making and storytelling, and I love television, I love the Internet. I wish I had time to do absolutely everything.
I don't have a particular ambition in any medium. I just want to keep telling stories. If somebody pays me, also good.
Every vampire fiction reinvents vampires to its own needs. You take what you want.
Absolutely eat dessert first. The thing that you want to do the most, do that.
I'd rather make a show 100 people need to see, than a show that 1000 people want to see.
I describe television as feminine and movies as masculine, in the sense that television wants to examine a problem from all sides and talk about it for a long time, and movies just want to hit the climax and then maybe have a smoke.
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.
