Da Vinci always seemed like the prototype Tony Stark to me.

I did three or four weeks of work on 'Godzilla' it wasn't a page-one rewrite or anything like that. The term is 'script doctoring,' is what I did on it.

I relate to the feeling that Da Vinci was often plagued by the idea that what he did wasn't good enough, that he was his harshest critic. He'd sometimes destroy what he was working on.

When I was a kid, I read many more Marvel comics than I did DC. As I got older, in high school and then in college, I started reading more DC.

I've long said that comic books are the modern equivalent of our Greek myths.

I love comic books. I was weaned on them, so it's not like it's a stretch for me, but I have other interests, as well.

During my career I’ve enjoyed re-invigorating and contextualizing classic characters that are relatable to contemporary audiences.

I like telling stories of imperfect people because most people are imperfect.

Mysticism and the supernatural are embedded in the show - it's called 'Da Vinci's Demons' for a reason, and it's not just metaphorical.

I honestly love nothing better than digging into a really good serialized show, whether it's 'Breaking Bad' or 'Game of Thrones' or 'Justified.'

It's ironic: In movies, the most successful films of all time have been sci-fi or fantasy. By far. But a lot of people won't even read science fiction books.

Do not lose hope — what you seek will be found. Trust ghosts. Trust those that you have helped to help you in their turn. Trust dreams. Trust your heart, and trust your story. (from 'Instructions')

Remembering something from the past? you are creating it right now as evidence for who you are now.

'The Sopranos' is filled with really retrograde humor. Bathroom humor, falls, stupid puns, bad jokes - infantile, adolescent stuff, but it makes me laugh.

I have done everything in my life very normally. And marriage is definitely there on my agendas in life. But I don't know when will it happen.

Mercy detached from justice grows unmerciful.

No use slaving for me and then saying you want to be cared for: who cares for a slave? If you come back, come back for the sake of good fellowship; for you’ll get nothing else.

Nothing is more ill-timed than an ill-timed laugh.

You can choose to be courageous enough to explore and examine the new understanding, and , it it aligns with your inner truth and knowing, to enlarge your belief system to include it.

In shallow men the fish of little thoughts cause much commotion. In oceanic minds the whales of inspiration make hardly a ruffle.

Flora sighed. It was curious that persons who lived what the novelists called a rich emotional life always seemed to be a bit slow on the uptake.
