I think I regard any history in quotes, because just like science, we're constantly revising science, we're constantly revising history.

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 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.

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

In life you dream, you step out and you make it happen.

I think, in common with a lot of novelists, I wasn't the most athletic guy at school.

I feel that one should employ methods that reflect the physics of the problem at hand rather than the methods one happens to know.

I pick and choose what I want to do at any given time, and what not to do, importantly. My agents, I won't hear about any offers or options.

That was the thing about pictures--they were worth a thousand words, but sometimes they weren't the right ones.

I'll just say that I made my own explorations of tone by listening to a tone for a long time until I began to understand what my sensations were, what my mind was doing with tone.

Being in Hollywood is like being in the Christian right these days.

Victor and vanquished never unite in substantial agreement.
