In every generation there is a chosen one. She alone will stand against the vampires the demons and the forces of darkness. She is the slayer.
I cannot abide useless people.
It’s not enough to bash in heads. You’ve got to bash in minds.
I loved the idea of a girl going into a dark alley, and a monster comes, and then she just aces him. It’s like, you want to see the tiny person suddenly take control. God, my whole career is basically about that!
Love is for children. I owe him a debt.
In the time of gods and monsters, what is the worth of a man?

Take my love, take my land Take me where I cannot stand I don’t care, I’m still free You can’t take the sky from me.

My visions of the future are always pretty much standard issue. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer and there are flying cars.
The greatest expression of rebellion is joy.
Never sit at a table you can’t walk away from.
Writing is the greatest thing that can happen to a human being. It’s the best.
There are many films and TV shows I make where people find themselves in fantastical situations; as often as possible, their reactions to it are very normal.

So, no more running. I aim to misbehave.
