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 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.

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.

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

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.

When you brought light to my darkness, I undiscovered the eclipse!

Nothing I accept about myself can be used against me to diminish me.

I never liked making albums.

There is nothing as precious to man as a sound mind in a sound body and it is essential that the physical well being of our people merits as much attention as its spiritual welfare

Programme names have been changed, and we have Andrew Neil saying he won't be using long words.

I'm not like a persona. I'm not a caricature of myself.

The moment you understand the importance of loving yourself, you will stop hurting others.

I like feeling strong. It keeps my mental floor higher.

I've destroyed my feet completely but I don't care. What do you really need your feet for anyway.

I'm even old-school Instagram. I'm here for your "What did you have to eat today?" I'm fine with that.
