The only kind of film I want to write is a story where I can keep on seeing the stories play out. I'm a huge television fan, and I'm a huge continuing storyline fan.

Everyone is given one gift, a reason for being, and it's our obligation to do something with it.

Don't give up. You're going to get kicked in the teeth. A lot. Learn to take a hit, then pick yourself up off the floor. Resilience is the true key to success.

Because I work in television, I always knew that I loved working with writers. It's very collaborative. You're always in a room full of writers.

I got so lucky on my 'Red Widow' cast. It was just the universe looking out for me that I got those actors. It's a big ensemble cast, a very international cast. I don't know how that happened.

Trish "Patsy" Walker is just one of my favorite characters and she was a big comic character in the '40s.

With any sci-fi fantasy storytelling, you must have rules be very clear, otherwise you lose people, like 'OK, they can fly; now they can't fly.'

The number of vacations me and my husband have canceled... if you really want a job, book a non-refundable vacation. But obviously we're blessed too.

I love that as a theme for women: Stop standing by! You've got to make stuff happen! You've got to create your own world because if you let other people do it, they're going to just screw you.

With a film, you have to pare down and take stuff out and squish it all down into a 110 page script.

Directing doesn't appeal to me. I'm much more in the world of ideas.

Without godliness, we are unable to see God.

The future belongs to those who procreate.

We're all human beings. And we all have our prejudices and so forth, but the thing is, let's be tolerant with each other. And if we could do that, there would be a lot more peace in our world today.

Time's flying wheel leaves little trace behind.

The worse the author, the more he is known.

Human nature is not obliged to be consistent.

I don’t know why it is that I have always been happier thinking of somewhere I have been or wanted to go, than where I am at the time. I find it difficult to be happy in the present.

I have decided that I want animation to be taken seriously; that is the goal of my life. I believe that animation is a very important medium to tell stories, not just for kids but for adults.

Every wind is fare when we are flying from misfortune.

How sweet it is to love, and to be dissolved, and as it were to bathe myself in thy love.
