I believe when you're writing film or television, you can't rely on a crutch or rule that exists outside of the narrative of the film.

Once we start seeing video games that have more memorable characters, you'll see better movie adaptations.

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.

I always felt that if we ever encountered an alien species, they wouldn't look like us or even be humanoid, like 'E.T.'

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 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.

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'm a big comic book geek and I've been reading comic books since pretty much since I was five or six in 1971 or something like that. So, I mean, I read it all and there's certainly a lot of different iterations of Superman that I personally have enjoyed more than others.

I think if we ever encountered aliens, even communicating with them would be really, really difficult.
