During my career I’ve enjoyed re-invigorating and contextualizing classic characters that are relatable to contemporary audiences.

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'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.

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.

Never underestimate the power of the spiritual world.

Churchmen sought to introduce rational trial procedures and sophisticated legal principles in place of the superstition-based trial by ordeal that had characterized the Germanic legal order.

Stress comes from the way you relate to events or situations.

If you could find out what the most successful people did in any area and then you did the same thing over and over, you'd eventually get the same result they do.

Laugh not too much; the witty man laughs least: For wit is news only to ignorance. Lesse at thine own things laugh; lest in the jest Thy person share, and the conceit advance.

The first day at the power plant I found myself photographing some steam vents on the roof of the structure. And I remember consciously thinking that they were just like trees but they were metal.

Cultural America is under siege. And as the Soviet experience illustrates, ideology is a weak glue to hold together people otherwise lacking racial, ethnic, and cultural sources of community.

Change is your friend not your foe, change is a brilliant opportunity to grow.

My Hamlet was about as alienated as you can get. Mine was a bitter and lonely prince. Valid, I think, but maybe tough to root for. I think that romance was missing.

I do six shows a week. Sometimes my voice gets tired, but I love it.
