I tend to tell stories that have a lot of momentum; it's not like 'and then months later...' I like things where the momentum of one action rolls into the next one so everything is the sum of that.
From Joss Whedon
Never sit at a table you can't walk away from.
Why anybody gets my sense of humor I never know, but I do know that when they do, I keep them as close as I possibly can.
I never write anything without humor, just because I like humor, but at the same time, it is a way for anything fantastical to become relatable.
I have a pathological fear of confrontation. I'm working on that.
I was never a games night guy, but at some point, social interaction starts to freak me out. So when there's a point, it's easier for me to see the people I love and hang out and try to have fun.
I just love language. I mean, I love it. I love stage directions. Any opportunity to write. I hadn't written in so long, I get very crazy and miserable. I - it's like not seeing my kids: I can't do it for very long.
My first gig ever was writing looplines for a movie that had already been made. You know, writing lines over somebody's back to explain something, to help make a connection, to add a joke, or to just add babble because the people are in frame and should be saying something.
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.
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.
