anyone lantern ring similarity unlike
The similarity between Iron Man and Green Lantern is, unlike Superman or any of the X-Men or Spider-Man, anyone can be Green Lantern or Iron Man. All you need is the ring or the suit.
One of things we say on 'Arrow' is, 'The only constant is evolution.'
One of the things I do well - I think, anyway - is combining different tones.
brief came learn
I came up professionally as a lawyer, and when you're a lawyer, writing a 50-page brief in one night is just another day at the office. You learn to make choices really quickly, and you learn how to get thoughts down very quickly.
crew great settling
One of the great things about the 'Arrow' crew is that no one is settling for what they did yesterday. They're always thinking about what they can do tomorrow.
advanced albert edison einstein steve thomas
Imagine if Steve Jobs or Thomas Edison or Albert Einstein were all alive 10, 20, 30 years before we know them to be alive; it would have advanced the world that much sooner.
cross dollar episodes fan huge love million six
I'm a huge fan of 'The Six Million Dollar Man' and I love the episodes where they would cross over with 'The Bionic Woman.'
dark fact happen network
I happen to like dark, and I like the fact that 'Arrow' is a pretty dark show, particularly for a network show.
characters comic guess lifelong love
Obviously, I love superheroes; I love comic book characters, but I... I guess I've had a lifelong affection for comics, and while I love the characters so much, I also love the medium.
experience mythology took
What I took away from my 'Flashforward' experience is that when you're doing a serialized mythology show, you put your foot on the gas, and you do not take it off.
funny surprised
It's funny: I like being surprised as a reader, so it's difficult for me to spoil my own stuff.
car downtime filling los stuck traffic work
There's a lot of downtime where you're filling your car up with gas, you're driving to work, you're stuck in traffic - it's Los Angeles, and so much of it is a car lifestyle.
hard
It's always really hard to kill off someone who you just really enjoy working with, writing for, and seeing on the screen.
hopefully life manner
The nice thing about 'Arrow' is we never say never on the show. Hopefully the show will have a nice long life, and all manner of things can potentially happen.
