I would never let somebody say that they’re me. That would be the ultimate betrayal of what I stand for.
I think Hollywood has seen what fandom can do for a project. You can definitely see that when you go to Comic-con.
Hollywood typecast me as the secretary. I could have worked as the quirky secretary for the rest of my life, but I decided not to do that.
Geek and Sundry has an eclectic line-up of shows all targeted around things I love: Comics, Tabletop Games, Books and more.
Finishing games has been something I’m really proud of, seeing something through to the end.
Comic-Con has become more of a pop cultural festival, and to not be included feels like you’re missing the biggest celebration of the year.
I am excited for the future of the industry, because we’re at that point now where digital is becoming pertinent to release and distribution strategy versus releasing on cable or anywhere else.
Every single job is a challenge. You are walking into a new set, a new character, creating a world and trying to get comfortable to do your best work.
I believe you are never past the point of creating opportunities for yourself.
I could go off into the wilderness and write fantasy novels for the rest of my life and probably be happy; but I always want to challenge myself.
The spirit is the thing I most love about my kind of geekdom.
I have a little obsessive-compulsive personality. You can tell because I played online games for eight hours a day.
I think every role is always exciting and intimidating. I’ve never had a role where I wasn’t intimidated by it.
I created ‘The Guild’ because nobody was offering me the roles I thought I could do best at in Hollywood.
The support of my fans is something I treasure more than anything, and I wouldn’t be here today without their support, their involvement in my shows.
The substance of what it means to be a geek is essentially someone who’s brave enough to love something against judgment. The heart of being a geek is a little bit of rejection.
It’s so much easier to measure life in experience points.
Obviously geek culture is super influential, the web kind of started from a very geeky point of view because geeks are all about technology.
Now I understand what exhaustion is. It’s not just a code word for heroin addiction. People don’t teach you how to handle the workload that comes from a little bit of success, and it’s something I’d never had to handle, because I’d been rejected for so long.
It’s good to let the other worries have a vacation and have different worries take over and then go back to the old worries.
