I love recording music.

I don't think I have a signature.

I am lucky, I'm the first to admit that.

I was never really a comic-book fanatic.

Mystery is more important than knowledge.

Don't sell your story, just tell your story.

Pitching is always a weird, difficult thing.

I try to work on shows that I would want to watch.

I'm literally open to any medium that will have me.

My mother is the coolest, most amazing person I know.

I'm obsessed with things that are distinctly analogue.

I've had the same friends since I was in kindergarten.

It's a leap of faith doing any serialised storytelling.

You can never guess or assume what anyone is going to think.

My work isn't any more important than anything else in the family

As a kid, 'Star Wars' was much more my thing than 'Star Trek' was.

My work isn't any more important than anything else in the family.

Whenever a toddler sees a pile of blocks, he wants to tear it down.

I may be even more grateful to George Lucas now than I was as a kid.

To me the interesting main character is never the one without flaws.

I think admitting youre an addict is the first step towards recovery.

There's nothing wrong with doing sequels, they're just easier to sell.

I don't think anyone wants a movie on time that's not worth your time.

With three kids you are just trying to survive. You can't be fastidious.

I work with really hard-working people who are really good at what they do.

I feel blessed that I get to be part of entertaining people in any capacity.

It's not a bad way to live once you let go of the idea that you deserve more.

It's more important you learn what to make movies about than how to make movies

I feel like obviously the standard for what TV looks like changes all the time.

I hate to look at the stuff I've written and consider what it means or why I do it.

I believe in anything that will engage the audience and make the story more effective.

It's what happens. You love, then you lose, then you die. Even if you survive, you die.

Whenever I've directed something, there's this feeling of demand and focus that I like.

I don't want to do something that is so inside that only die-hard fans will appreciate.

We live in an age of instant knowledge. And there's almost a sense of entitlement to that.

I hope to make movies that are so small they don't need to make anything to be profitable.

'Star Trek' was always a little bit closed emotionally. I never connected to the characters.

When I was a kid, it was a huge insult to be a geek. Now it's a point of pride in a weird way.

The magic that works, to me, is the magic that feels completely grounded and real and tangible.

I find that it's hard to fully examine one's life and not have faith be part of the discussion.

I think you have a passion and an obsession for something when it's not necessarily ubiquitous.

You never want to have that ticking clock and know that you had all this time and didn't use it.

I'm not trying to be coy or manipulative or Machiavellian, I want to spark people's imaginations.

I've always liked working on stories that combine people who are relatable with something insane.

The idea to put episodes out weekly in theory makes as much sense as putting them all out at once.

I love movies with spectacle but spectacle can be a performance, it doesn't have to be a creature.

The ability of a television series to make adjustments is something you've got to take advantage of.

I sort of love the idea of, you know, watching something and then having to wait for the next episode.

I have nothing against 3-D in theory. But I've also never run to the movies because something's in 3-D.

Whenever you're playing sports with people who are better than you are, it makes you rise to the occasion.
