I have more faith in doing something creative for a cable station or something like Yahoo or Google or Amazon. What Netflix did with 'House of Cards' and David Fincher was brilliant. That is inspiring to me. I think there is more chance for creativity in animation, it just hasn't happened there yet.

Creatively, it's great, because when you write your own movies, you get to create whatever you want.

You know, it takes a while to get used to - it's a whole group of people with all these ideas and after you sort of navigate your way through the first few episodes it becomes collaborative and creative.

People have these ideas about comic books and their adaptations as flashy and sort of surface-y, broad-strokes-type projects, but they're not, really.

I've been obsessed with this kind of visual storytelling for quite a while, and I try to create material that allows me to explore it.

When the director has a vision for a piece that I've never heard before, and they can back that up with visuals, and they talk a good game, I get really interested in the world that they're trying to create.

People have really long attention spans, and they love complicated plots. TV series are giving the audience what they want.

An enormous amount of ingenuity and creativity goes into commercials, and they can be fascinating if you pay attention.

It's a real gift to be able to have the works of brilliant, great people to learn from and build from. It gives you so much more to draw on, and then you don't have to be all about three-chord pop songs. I don't really like that kind of writing.

It's really interesting working in television as opposed to the theater, where you know the arc of the character and you are able to create this whole backstory.
