I'm interested in the dark side of man. I'm interested in taboos, and murder is the greatest taboo. Characters are fascinating in their extremity, not in their happiness.

The great thing about writing 'Deadpool' is that he can demolish expectations and typical comic book conventions with monster truck force. There are few other characters who can transition so easily from one type of story to the next.

I'm interested in directing movies about situations that I've lived, so they are almost a personal essay about what I've come to believe in.

I am very interested in that fine line between fiction and reality and between comedy and tragedy - and pushing the line as much as possible.

I loved 'Deadpool'. I loved the comics, and I loved the script.

Any film which views the darker side of life, which is death with a sense of humor, is very much to my taste.

There are so many books and movies I like; I never mention specific ones.

I like movies that are specific. Movies that home in on a very specific subculture, a specific discipline, a specific world.

'Guardians of the Galaxy' is tongue-in-cheek and has a sense of humor about itself. But it's nothing like 'Deadpool.' 'Deadpool' is this super-bizarre thing. The best thing about it is that it's R-rated.
