I honestly love nothing better than digging into a really good serialized show, whether it's 'Breaking Bad' or 'Game of Thrones' or 'Justified.'

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.

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.

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.

Remember you are just an extra in everyone else’s play.

My whole life have been treated like a donkey. All I want is that one of mine - at least one - should live like a man.

Whenever you touch a poem that caresses your soul, breathe it gently for it might be the wind that perfects your life's goal.

Occasions for defining moments do not arise every day. When they do, we must seize the opportunities they present for improving everyone's life.

whatever is profound loves masks; what is most profound even hates image and parable.

Painters love paint itself: so much that they spend years trying to get paint to behave the way they want it to.

I am against the florists and floristry! Let the flowers not be the toys of our pleasures!

If I have to die, I want to combust in the middle of one of my classes.

The only person I ever hurt was myself and even that I did to the minimum. If you can do that and you're still functioning, you're the luckiest person in the world.

Faith can remove a mountain, but doubt can put it back in place again
