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.'

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.

You can never know what you are fully made of until you start to do the things that fear you the most.

Love is more pleasant once you get out of your twenties. It doesn't hurt all the time.
